  Compromised?

    3Camels was, maybe still is, fully dependent on the Amazon affiliate program. A program that was reduced at one point, killed off 3Camels competitor, but not 3Camels. Then Amazon asked them to stop tracking during Covid for a time which they did.

    This is around the time that I heard about Keepa which has a different model, not solely Amazon but other stores too, and not paid via affiliates program.

    Also it’s just faster. 3Cs was getting super slow to notify. You’d get an email, click and surprise, that sale was over yesterday.

    I probably heard about the controversy on Reddit at the time but there’s a chance I found this site here which covers some of my recollections.
