I get that everyone needs to pay the bills, but this is gross. I’d even be fine with them existing on a separate buying guide \deals section. But two litter the entire site with nothing but Black Friday\cyber monday “deals”, aka sponsored content there only to get you to click, is pretty bad form.
The Internet isn’t what it used to be. I’ll go yell at clouds now
Eh this is both an SEO play and sponsored. There’s no question that cyber Monday deals are a huge search term right now.
So obviously a site like that is going to chase that traffic. Almost every site about any interest in running search bait cyber Monday articles today
Tough to make money just on content it seems. Now they have to use affiliate links to supplement their income.
