Today's Newegg shuffle is selling electric kettles...wtaf?

[justsomecomputerengineer]

I'm signed up for notifications for the newegg shuffle (which after about 30 attempts I was able to snag an RX6700XT). But todays shuffle is a bit...different. They've got all kinds of garbage - electric kettles, toaster ovens, vengeance pro ram that is certainly not hard to find, iphones, etc. I am very confused. Does anyone have any idea what the hell is going on? Have Newegg completely lost their minds? Here's a link to this nonsense

Kettle Company: Hey all these gamers are doing this thing called newegg shuffle. Why don't we put our product on there and get free advertising. 

Gamers: Just wants something so selects all products. 

A few hours later

Gamers: Oh my gosh I won the newegg shuffle. I wonder what I got. *Gets Kettle* F***. I spent 7 F***ING weeks trying to get something good and I get a F***ING kettle.

Hey, at least the Brits will be happy. /s

 

Newegg sell home appliances, along with other stuff that aren't related to computers and 'gamers', so it's not really surprising.

I'm pretty sure it's all for special discounts due to them going public on the stock market.  It's an interesting twist, but nothing I really need at the moment.

Newegg is just prostituting itself out everywhere now.  

 

I'm pretty much done with them, the whole crypto discount thing was my last straw.

C'mon bro that kettle is made by well known pc part makers, surely it would gain your fps by 10%

yeah the shuffle is 99.999% hot garbage today. there is only 1 card and its a 3070. It looks like they are trying to clear out their warehouse by offering crap as a shuffle "prize"

They are offering a percentage discount if you pay with crypto.  It's on the   .ca email deals.
