I've seen a lot of deals there get upvoted when they seem to be the regular price, but it makes sense if they don't allow downvoting without commenting. I once tried to post a deal for a top tier VPN and it got rejected because non UK merchants need to be pre-approved by an admin, and when I tried to get it approved it was rejected. Baffling considering there are loads of low quality VPN deals posted there, I can only assume that they get approved when they give the admins a bit of cash or something.

If you think that's bad, reddit has started issuing warnings to people who upvote wrongthink. The Internet sucks these days.

Nah that's funny.

I got banned from Ocuk in the past for voting a couple of threads 1 stars...... so it's not just Hotukdeals.

HotUKDeals are an affiliate site who make a commission on each sale. So it is in their interest for items to get hot so it influences more people to buy so they make more money.

HotUKdeals has turned to utter **** as of late. Half the hot voted items arent even that good of deals and its just the same recycled content/items every week:

Old games no one really wants
a holiday in X place that requires some black magic to actually get the deal.
crappy barely functional tool accessories no one will ever use
a tv with £20 quid off
a chinese mobile phone from aliexpress
sd card that is always the same price

there you go thats the website. saved you a click

I did sign up to ukhotdetals in WhatsApp 2 years ago. They're supposed to send me messages every now and then with deals? Not a sniff from them yet, just their 'welcome' message from 2 years ago. Meh.

Cashback sites are better imo e.g. Quidco and Topcashback.

Please post in the For...oh wait.

Interesting. Fair play to them, I say. When I was learning to code, I might post a question on StackOverflow and often it would get downvoted and I didn't know why. I started putting at the bottom 'If you wish to downvote this question, please comment as to why so I can learn what I have done wrong' and the downvoting definitely slowed. I guess some people just want to be dicks to others and can't really explain why?

Out of interest, do you upvote things as much as you downvote?
