Dear AppSumo: Please Stop Running Ads Like This (twitpic.com)

Yup. AppSumo is reminding me more and more of Don Lapre.

Even their non-make-a-million deals over-promise. Just give me the story straight, cut the bullshit.

EDIT: Don Lapre was convicted of fraud. I am not implying that at all. I'm just saying that some of AppSumo's copy reminds me of the Lapre's infomercials.


a Dear AppSumo is unlikely to change anything. It's all numbers - as long as ads like that convert, they will keep running them. much like email spam - it still seems to work, otherwise it wouldn't exist.
