I guess it comes down to a difference it what people look for. When I set about creating this site, it was because I like getting these deals and try out new software myself, but I found myself missing some of the best deals. So I set up alerts, signed up for lots of fb groups, and checked lots of sites, but it took a lot of time, and suddenly I hade made myself a dashboard. As it is right now, the site does what I personally like, it shows a list of ongoing lifetime deals from any source I can find, and one can get the same info in email alerts or rss subscribtion. Personally I hate comparison tables, because how can I know the person who made them has tested all tools compared and know them well enough to make a fair comparison. So I actually thought it more fair to just post the links. But these comments have given me some food for thought, so I think I need to make things clearer in writing on each page. |

As a dev I am sick of marketing bullshit and believe none of it, prefer spec sheets and seeing the code myself, competent engineer support, when I see a newsletter popup I immediately exit, when I see adblock telling me it's blocking a hundred things and also seeing stuff trying to run flash my first thought is malware. When I see "unlimited backup storage for life" my first thought is that bandwidth and power and cooling is a recurring cost and that unlimited doesn't exist.
I would assume a "normal user" would convert better to newsletter things (otherwise why would they keep getting used), social media liking and group chat (I block all like buttons, follow buttons, etc.), click through happily and upload 3 GB to their "unlimited backup" plan..
