I'm just curious if people get excited about Prime Day anymore? Year 1 and maybe year 2 I did, but now I don't even bother looking, though I know if I want something made by Amazon like an Alexa then that's a good time to buy it.
If so, what kinds of things do you look for, it seems like such a mess to find anything?
I like buying stuff and getting bargains as much as anybody, but I've never seen any Prime Day sales for (a) something I like or (b) has a remarkable discount, not to mention both together.
I think mostly they want to make you waste time browsing the site looking for deals and maybe some people 1-click by accident or feel compelled to buy something because they feel invested in it.
The most special thing that happened in the runup was a I bought a different item and got a 10 dollar credit for shopping small, or local, or something. Given that the item I bought was only 15 or 20 bucks, that was a nice surprise, but that was like a week before the day itself.
I wonder if perhaps it was not a mistake, but a tactic to get more people to carefully search through Prime deals...
In any case, this year I didn't spend much time with it. I bought a $18 cable organizer that was on sale for $14, and that I was planning on buying anyway, even at full price.
