Hot Deal

Need better system for voting up/identitying good deals

Been noticing this for a long time, but never posted. But it has become more evident recently

The new hotness system is leading many good deals going unnoticed.

The issue of people voting for their friends deals is one of the obvious reasons. It is evident while refreshing recent posts, where some posts get 2-3 vote ups in minutes

There is no reward for voting up deals and no restriction on how many and whose deals can we vote, so many deals don’t get any votes at all .
Whatever deals do get votes are either

1. very obvious good/free deals (where who has posted does not matter)
2. Deals bumped up to homepage due to which many see and vote it up
3. Deals promoted in channels etc so more people see and more people vote
4. Votes due to Goodwill of other members

The deals are those which would have been sureshot FPDs in the past now get only 15-20 degree hotness. And many invalid/clickbait deals end up getting 400/500 hotness

Need to put some restrictions on how many deals can people vote for in a day and reward members voting up for top deals .Otherwise not many have any motivation to vote up deals

There are other factors like clicks etc, but those affect only product deals.
For normal cashback offers etc. All content is posted in the thread itself, so not many will click the link. and these end up low in hotness

I agree with u raised_hands
Especially telegram channel alert are pathetic (last few days so many deals r not working,after getting a alert when I open it will say OOS)

My ola deal posted few  week ago  but alert was sent before 2days

No proper mechanism in telegram alerts

Especially newbies winning the games on Wednesday everytime

Finally found the reason.

It’s because of the groups. If you see the top 5-7 groups (based on hotness)
They mostly consist of same group of people in different combinations, and most deals shared there are their own deals (nothing wrong with that) . Hence these deals reach many people and get many views and other deals get missed meanwhile

Hate this “New/discussed section”

If you post a flash sale type deal and no one bump it then it will go unnoticed.

By the time someone will bump it, it will be oos.

Friggin right you are. I bloody missed them Skecher shoes at Myntra few days back as there was no hotness to that thread. Garbage threads are having high hotness nowadays. This new system is meh, always was. I just don’t care any more and no time that’s why never bothered to mention this.

PS- I think they could sort the deals segment wise. Like mobile phones should go under Tech category along with other tech related deals; shoes, shits etc. should go under Clothing or something like that; that way users would be able to find the right deal needed for them.

I think system should also have inbuilt algoritham to see whether there are any particular accounts which almost always add hotness to deals posted by particular user / users… to identify and ban “influenced” rise in hotness

infact I have also seen that original post by me got whatever hotness it deserved but the repost got lot more hotness .. not giving the deal links here as my concern is not specific to any one such incident .. the purpose of my post is that dimers should get to see best deals with best hotness !!
