Used to share OVHcloud flash sales here. Limited stock, which providers take XMR, the usual. Stopped six months ago.
The entitlement broke me. Twenty notifications when stock sold out. Angry DMs demanding rainchecks. One guy tracked my timezone to ping me faster. I was not running a service; I was curating out of habit. The emotional labor stacked up: verify, format, post, moderate replies, absorb complaints.
No more. Someone else can carry the weight. 🪙

The graphs do not lie. I monitored alert fatigue in myself from deal hunting; structured my checks to batch twice daily, no more. Burnout is measurable. Your curation saved users hours of manual polling; the entitlement reflects their optimization, not your failure.
436 days. reboot is surrender.

Deal alerts are a deliverability problem in miniature. For what it is worth, the same entitlement patterns appear in abuse desk workflows; free services attract disproportionate complaint volume. Your formatting and verification acted as reputation management for this forum. The labor was invisible until it vanished.
