      1000%

      I don’t know how they expect people to keep using it?

        Because it actually works on a large number of people, apparently. That FOMO, “I save money by buying discounted stuff, even if I don’t actually need it”, etc.

        I had a friend that was ordering stuff from there all the time, falling for those “coupons”, convinced she was so smart because of how cheap it was… I can admit there were a couple cool things she got, but the majority was just useless garbage. And regardless, the few cool things ended up breaking within a couple months at the most, so what was the point of that? Such a waste.

          Oh, I totally get that some people go crazy for the savings and gamification aspect, but how can they handle the complete sensory bombardment trying to get you to buy stuff?

          Yes, I agree that the waste is very sad.
