Are Black Friday deals getting worse?



Is it just me or do Black Friday deals seem to be getting worse? I remember in the 00s/early 2010s when they would have huge TVs for like $150. There would be a line of people extending to the parking lot. 70% discounts on high demand items and people punching each other to grab one.

Now it seems like a 15% discount is being advertised as the "insane" Black Friday deal.

Could just be this year cus of the supply chain issue.. or maybe Black Friday isnt drawing in the crowds like it used to.

Pretty sure Cyber Monday has become the dominant shopping day

It's a mix, prices have gone up, it's hard to get shit, and they aren't making sales as big as they were to avoid gathering too many people.

Demand is high, supply is low. It's just not a good year for expecting much in the way of deals.

By far. Why put up with all the morning mess when you can just sit on your couch and do all your shopping at your convenience?

It has been that way for awhile. Retailers would rather spread the sales around the year instead of relying on Q4 all the time. It is just more efficient

May depend on what you're looking for. I got a lot of Switch games heavily discounted and also part of a B2G1.
