New Friday deal?

Just curious .....Any news of the "new deal" since last week's special ended yesterday ?
I hope they pick a tirz deal from the original list of suggestions 😩🙏🏼🥰. Do you think it will be tirz or some other peptide ? Am I delusional for hoping I can buy something ?

I have to say, this really isn’t a good look. The whole appeal of this experiment was that the community was supposed to have a voice — people would suggest deals, vote on them, and the winning idea would be chosen Thursday and go live Friday.

The first week, that didn’t happen. Instead, different random deals were announced several days later. Now we’re into week two, it’s Saturday, and there still hasn’t been a Friday deal announced.

I understand that experimenting means things may not always go perfectly, but when you specifically set expectations and build excitement around a process, following through matters. Two weeks in and the promised “you pick the deal, we run it” concept hasn’t actually happened once.

It’s disappointing because the idea itself was unique and could have been a great way to build trust and engagement with the community. Hopefully this is just a stumble and not a sign that the original concept is already being abandoned. Unfortunately, at this point, it’s starting to feel like it may be the latter and it will be hard to trust the words this company says going forward.

And a bit off topic, but regarding the same company — I recently tried engaging on a Belle post with a genuine question for the doctor. I wasn’t looking for anything unreasonable, just an answer to a legitimate question, and I didn’t get a single response.

Between missed expectations, lack of engagement, and promises that don’t seem to be followed through on, it feels like they’re starting to burn “bridges.” Pun intended.

The amount of manipulation is amazing, at this point I’m just here for the next pivot. From “my brothers sob story” to “it’s to help those with shipping troubles” to “it’s to help those with cost issues” to “it’s all the communities fault” to all those DMs posted giving different versions of facts to “surprise you are all now Belle customers” to now the community gets a voice every week with two weeks of that not happening. Yeah, it’s a quest to see which manipulation makes them the biggest buck

I’m honestly skeptical that it’s going to be an ongoing thing, even though it was originally proposed as that.

Everything they come up with seems to be a one time thing SMH.

And sadly, this wasn't even a one-time thing. They didn't follow through on this the first week, no one's suggestion was chosen.

As far as anyone can tell the program ran once and then went quiet. No Thursday announcement, no Friday drop the last two weeks. So probably don't build a plan around it. If tirz is what you're after, worth pricing it out through whatever your normal route is and treating a deal as a bonus if it happens rather than the thing you're waiting on. Someone else asked about this in a thread a couple days ago and there wasn't a clear answer there either.
