Seriously, Fuck Black Friday. Fuck the weeks before raising prices. Fuck the pretend 75% off of a piece of shit item that costs 5 bucks to make. Fuck making that item and marking it up 500%. Fuck not paying the person making that item a living wage. Fuck making a trinket that leverages a desperate person’s full day of labour away from their families.
There is no Thanks I’m giving here…And specifically a big fucking middle finger to the Amazon that takes lives and makes this world a shittier place.
Save the real Amazon by killing off the namesake corporation.
Fuck you Bezos, I hope your yacht fucking sinks while you and your plastic wife are aboard having botched elective surgeries.
Thank you.
I’m an oldhead so I remember the way early days.
Yes, there was a small ‘season’ that was used to churn out old tech inventory in preparation for the December frenzy. This was in the day that meaningful device updates were, by today’s standards relatively slow so it really made sense for holders of inventory to unload the stuff. Its also worth noting that at that time, electronics/tech was at it’s cyclycal low in August and early September, so nobody wanted stuff collecting dust while consumer spending slowed.
Conditions are wildly different now. Besides, it was a “genuine” thing for a few years but that’s ancient memory by this point.
