This New Yorker’s not complaining about launching the new product at midnight. I wouldn’t want to miss it, even if it turns out to be meh. Sleep is highly overrated anyway.
Yeah. Wouldn’t want to read that just after a cuppa coffee; I’d probably never sleep again. But I’m sure there’s a thing or two that could be said, now that we’re all zooming along. Let me go and meditate upon it.
I like it because here it’s 9 pm, so I can check it out, click the Meh button (or occasionally actually buy it), read the initial snark, maybe add something, hit the likes, and go to bed knowing I’ve accomplished something …
The idea that people would want to be there when it changed had not occurred to us.
And it would never occur to me to make a special effort to be there. I still can’t think of a single time I checked in the morning and said “It’s already sold out?! Damn it!”
If you’re asleep at midnight, then you’re probably up by 5 or 6 am (like me) and can get the deal then. If you are awake at 9 or 10 am (like all my friends) then you can get the deal at midnight. It is the perfect set time.
Nothing EVER sells out in five minutes on this site - the deals are NEVER THAT GOOD! It is usually still there when I wake up. It’s only when I forget to check upon waking that I miss a deal.
I have only missed out on a few deals in the entire time I have been a member, and MOST of them come back or are available on MorningSave later.
And yet he did not address the meh button. I had presumed its original intent was to give feedback on whether or not we liked the deal even if we didn’t buy. Of course customers being customers we gave it a life of its own with respect to click face records and now it serves as a driver to make a bunch of people visit the site daily. I am reasonably sure that this was not entirely anticipated in advance.
WTF? You’re way over thinking this. Like grandpa said, KISS, Keep It Simple Stupid! And I do trust that y’all are smart/lazy enough to leave what works the hell alone.
It used to bother me that the new product was launched at midnight. I’m rarely up at that hour anymore and if I am… it’s not because I’m checking out Meh. But you rarely have something I actually want so it’s not much of a bother. I don’t know why you launch a product at midnight and send the email out at 10am tho. Unless you figure it causes 2 surges. But aren’t most people at work by 10am?
The emails go out too late, though.
@heartny for those of us that struggle to sleep, I strongly disagree.
I’m…I’m just gonna need a minute, y’all. I’m surfin’ hard on those waves of Matt Energy.

This seems to explain some of the reasoning for the circuit breaker. Wanting everyone to get a chance to buy.
Please include Paper Bag Snapster with our toothbrushes when they finally ship.

And just 2.5 months later, everything changed

@comics360 Fuku’s & IRK’s sell out in nanoseconds.

@Mothersnakes That sounds like a challenge
PS No matter what you do or don’t do you will never ever satisfy everyone.

I want a tour of this underwater lair that the Meh CEO works out of!
I’m a disappointed that his sharks do not appear to have frickin laser beams on their heads, though.
@ultimatebob Not a great idea for someone made out of paper. Any leak and he is mush.
