Originally, Black Friday sales were a way of clearing out old stock to make space for the next version coming out just in time for the holidays.
This isn't the case any longer as christmas has been creeping into earlier and earlier in the year AND the difference between releases is decreasing, AND the releases are spaced throughout the year.
So currently, these sales exist purely to make you buy shit.
Consequently, there's no real reason for the stores to lower their prices because they don't actually need the space for new stock.
They will however try to make you believe that you're getting a special deal because the so called "sales" exist PURELY to get you to buy more shit.
SO... they'll mark up prices, sometimes in advance, to try and trick you into believing you're paying a discounted price when you're actually paying full, sometimes more than full, price, to encourage you to buy more shit.
"It's such a good deal, it's 30% off!"... No it's not.
It used to be 300, then they raised it to 500, now it's 350 with the "discount".
That's actually 117% the original price instead of the 70% they say you're paying.
Some countries... that's fucking illegal you know.
So... yeah...
I'm fucking proud to see posts on social media of people going over this and explaining this and telling on this, but even more than that, I'm genuinely impressed to see posts where there's images of piles of product that stores fully expected to sell to you at full price while pretending a discount's involved in any way and people just weren't buying it.
I mean, I know the rising cost of living makes it even easier to skip the new tv at an inflated price that's been then marked down to over the original price, but still.
It's beautiful to see the lies rewarded with the response they're fairly owed.
Nothing.

Reprieve Part 3 Progress Update under cut~
(Don't mind me 🥺 I've since privated the posts where I mentioned taking a small break a couple of weeks ago, so I'm just reiterating an update I had given back then for anyone popping in to check on the comic!)
Thanks for your guys' patience while I've been taking a small break from drawing and Tumblr! Ya gurl is hopefully back to doing her best to be unbothered, focused, and thriving in her lane 😌✨
I had previously said that I'd try to get Reprieve Part 3 up before the end of January but considering that I only really began getting back into my art and personal projects in the last couple of days, it's looking more like I won't get around to finishing and posting until about mid-to-late February 😅
But the script is fully finished, the panels are drafted, and the storyboarding is finally in progress 💪 finally inspired, motivated, and chugging along with this mfer 😤💕

Oh no somebody seeing my lovesong art and saying “apparently this is DnDads it looks cool I love this stuff”
I’m so sorry stranger, this podcast actually isn’t about a trans princess on an epic quest, grappling with the guilt of her actions, reconnecting with her family, and falling in love with the prince of hell. That’s a secret subplot only some of us have noticed and unlocked
