User comments on deals are what make this site invaluable What makes slickdeals so good to use to find the best prices are the comment sections where fellow users share their opinions on the different offers, products, and prices. This allows you to really see if you are getting the best deal and even some comparisons of competitive products and pricing trends.

Slickdeals posts are no longer slick deals. Slickdeals was bought out by Goldman Sachs in June 2018, and it's been barely worth visiting since then. Most posts now are either made by Slickdeals employees, or else by members that get paid in one way or another, and only for stores that pay Slickdeals a cut (mainly Amazon), so posts to "hot deal" are rarely hot deals anymore.

Slickdeals Not sure why so many people complain here about Slickdeals, especially since its a FREE service. I have been using the site for well over a decade (when I was still in High School) and have found it to be extremely useful over the years. The deals are there, you just need to know how to find them and put your time into it.

Biased Moderators Biased Moderators. Posting deals on slickdeals is almost impossible as they dont even look at the posts you submit for approval. They dont even reply back when questioned and post deals as they see fit. Different rules for different deal posters.

Just a click-farm affiliate link mess As so many others have stated, this site is now effectively worthless. It has become a click-farm for affiliate links. You will the same handful of sites reposted with "deals" day after day. I'm a newer user of the site/app and after months of reading deals being posted it's clear this is a complete waste of time. If this site was ever good, that time has long past and after corporate overlords and likely new management took over it's just a advertising platform now.
