I love facebook, really I do. But I’m getting burnout from ‘liking’ everything, particularly contests. I love to follow some businesses, especially those that put deals and coupons into their feed. But I’m growing weary of the “hey go like us then come back at 4:00 and you and 3 billion other people can try to win one of 50 free crappy t-shirts.”
I mean, it’s one thing if the thing is a definite–either I’m going to get a sample of something or get to print a coupon. But when there are hundreds of millions of people on Facebook, to try to win one of 10,000 t-shirts or boxes of hair color, just feels like a waste of time, no?
So for the time being anyway, I’m only going to alert you of the definites–the definite free sample or trial, the definite printable coupon. Even those are in limited quantity, so you usually have to take advantage of it as soon as you see it. But don’t count on me for the contests, even if the freebie is a good one. I guess I’m just not of the gambling nature, I don’t enjoy the thrill of possibly winning it. I think I need to make smarter use of my time, there are lots of *definite* good deals to be had, I think it’s smarter spending to be banking on those.
