Page 2 | So many food grocery recipe delivery links on promos

I know it's the promos and that's what it's true for, but it's very annoying to see 6 hello fresh 'offers' and 13 for gousto

So why don't they keep them to one or 2 threads???

It's incessant

I agree, why not just have one thread where people can post their Gousto codes? You use the latest one posted, then post your own. I think MSE does that for some codes, or maybe survey sites and it seems to work quite well.

Similar in AIBU. Blatant marketing.

They're really annoying and completely taking over active threads.

It's really annoying. And they don't deliver to where I am so they're no bloody use to me. I'm going to end up hiding the whole section which is a shame.

I find it all really fascinating to observe. I wonder if MN has single handedly broken Gousto and wonder what would happen if similar viral marketing took off in say somewhere like Student Room.

Hi again, everyone.

We do hear you about the amount of threads there are on just one or two offers on the promos board. It's a tricky one because people clearly are using them, and they are wanted, but we are discussing ways we can keep things a bit tidier on that board going forward and will keep you posted.

In the meantime, we'll keep deleting these kinds of posts from anywhere other than the promos board. We'll also have a look at the promos board this afternoon because it sounds like this big offer ends at lunchtime so we could perhaps get rid of all those offer codes posts after that and leave things looking a bit clearer.

Thanks again for all your feedback, anyway - it's all useful.

Me too. I'm looking at them all like this ! I use Gousto (never shared a code on here though) but this has definitely put me off. I guess they know it works as a marketing strategy but I now feel aggrieved at paying full price for a box when everyone else is getting them for free - silly I know 🙃. Also expect them to be swamped at the moment and quality suffering.

Could you keep them out of Active at least? I've hidden the whole Promo Codes board because I'm sick of it. MN is being used as free advertising. There's no way this isn't a coordinated campaign.

I'd rather eat wool!

I've hidden Promo and now another has appeared in Chat.

Hi @vodkaredbullgirl please do report any promo threads that you see in the wild and we'll take a look.
