I don't need them to die, but the whole daily deal fad annoys me. I feel like it's making people into boring, decadent, consumerists who can't think of something fun to do that doesnt involve a monetary transaction.
Yeah, I agree. It was fun at first to try out different places at low cost. But after doing, I've learned that it's really not a great way to discover unique experiences. As of late, I've been using an occasional deal as more of a reprioritization to which new thing I do first. That is, say, a new restaurant I've already planned on visiting. So it's still nice. But the fad is getting pretty old.
That's my current pessimistic view at least.
