One upon a time, websites had actually useful coupons and RetailMeNot was created by the people who made BugMeNot and it was great, but more and more websites caught on and RetailMeNot was bought out to the tune of $300 million.

Then everything went to shit.

I miss them when they were good and effective. Like Groupon.

They all got enshittified and overrun by people trying to exploit the userbase for clicks.

The fact that BugMeNot and RetailMeNot grew so huge is interesting. They were created by two Australians, and for a while were only popular in Australia.
