And here I thought that online stores that constantly have 50% off sales are just shady!

@olmitch @coolboymew bro 3 of my friends got duped by some lightsaber scam website because of that xD

What happened???

@olmitch @coolboymew they showed these pictures of amazing lightsabers on the website and they all had different designs for each character. They were like 80% off or something and still $45. So they all bought them and they turned out to be all exactly the same cheap plastic, tiny rave lightsabers that changed color when you hit them on something xD they even had a strobe mode xD

When they were explaining it to me I was like oh, that's cool. I have no interest in star wars but good for them. Then the packages actually came and I was like.... Oh no xD that's when I looked at the website and it was SO OBVIOUSLY A SCAM man, I swear most people really are NPCs.

Mypillow has a 40% or 50% sale going all the time but the products aren't scam, they are actually quite nice. I have the sheets, pillows, and bath towel

@olmitch @beardalaxy yeah that's kind of the marketing trick "sales all the times". On top of that they have an idiot catch in that you literally give away coupon codes all the times. It's literally what the picture talks about

The products being nice or not are irrelevant from the trick

@coolboymew @olmitch look at all these brands that advertise through youtuber sponsorships. there is always some sort of deal going on or some sort of code you can use to get them for cheaper, and even if you can find more quality for the end price somewhere else people still buy them in droves because a youtuber talked about it.

case in point: raycons.

Haha fuck Raycons I've had this same set of Skull Candies for years now, completely reliable
