Black Friday & The Illusion Of The “Deal”
At Collectors MD, we often talk about seasonal triggers, and today—Black Friday—is the prime example—the trigger of all triggers. Black Friday used to feel like a once-a-year opportunity—a chance to finally grab something meaningful at a price you could justify. But over time, it’s quietly evolved into something far more manipulative, far more psychological, and far more harmful for people who struggle with spending and compulsion. Today isn’t really about savings anymore. It’s about pressure.
