My MASSSIVE following of 9 people will be crushed...Most of the regulars already know that the amount of advertising or promotion i do for the site is ...
I made an account just to say the following:
I don’t know if you can see this from my IP, but I’ve been using your site extensively specifically because it’s maker-centric.
When you post deals that are not even remotely related to any hobby it devalues your website and makes me not want to visit it. There are plenty of other all-encompassing deal-sites with kitchen knife sets and queen-size mattresses, so please keep it on topic.
I’m fine with most of the unrelated stuff btw: I have previously bought a drone, a tablet and a portable monitor, but you just have to draw the line somewhere.
Ironically enough, one of the reasons the random section exists is partially because of a crazy deal on a giant Damascus steel knife 🙂
It was one of the first random deals i ever posted, and it went completely nuts…. and since it didn’t fit into any other category a random section was created.
But i share your concern, and this is something i’ve brought up on Discord very recently. The site is starting to develop two distinct sets of audiences that cross over on some things, but not on others.
The plan right now is to either setup a sister site dedicated to nothing but random, and leave this as a niche site only, or completely (or mostly) isolate the random deals to their own section, where they don’t show up on the home page, and have their own notifications, etc.
In other words – leave the “maker random” here, and either hide the “random random” into it’s own section, or a completely new site all together.
Something for after Black Friday to deal with 🙂
