H2S used to be a great site when it was about couponing, spending less and saving money. In the past few years it's turned into a non-focused mess. It's now mostly Amazon "buy this NOW!" type posts with multiple exclamation points and click bait titles. It has become more about consumerism and getting clicks to her affiliate links. Many of the "deals" her team now posts aren't even good deals. They're just online deals shared because she gets a commission. Now that she has a team writing for her the site has gotten very corporate-looking and she rarely posts. Her comments are normally "awww you're so sweet" in response to compliments given to her. She used to share a lot about her personal experiences which made the site work for her readers. They felt a personal connection to her. I don't anymore. The keto thing is also off the rails. We get it. This fad diet worked for you. What does this have to do with savings and coupons? Most reputable doctors will tell you that keto is not healthy or sustainable long term. Her team frequently dishes out what could be construed as medical advice pertaining to keto. It's gross and wrong and has very much turned me off her site. I used to check it multiple times a day. Now it's maybe once a month and I don't feel like I'm missing anything. I used to leave her site smiling because I enjoyed the content and the deals. Now when I go I feel annoyed when I leave because the site has changed so much and it's such a money grab now. Before I knew I was supporting her through affiliate links and I didn't mind because I enjoyed the content. I would purchase through just about any other avenue now due to the changes on the site. Good for the owner, bad for her readers.
