've purchased far too many tools through AppSumo, and what many of us expected to be a great deal often turned into an immense disappointment.

It's unnecessarily difficult to redeem codes, such as the Freepik offer, because of the unexpected surcharges and the overly complicated cancellation conditions. Honestly, it's a huge letdown. Compounding the issue, AppSumo often fails to solve anything even after a couple of days of trying.

This year alone, I've had a couple of tools I purchased disappear from the market entirely. Despite this, some of us keep believing in AppSumo, only to find that instead of genuine deals, we're encountering scams or low-quality offers enabled by the platform itself.

That excuse about "overlooking" these problematic policies is simply unacceptable for a platform whose entire business model relies on vetting and facilitating these kinds of transactions.
