I don't understand people who go into business as a blogger, which by its nature involves putting thoughts out there for people to publicly comment on. Then get miffed when there are negative comments, or when people discuss better deals/offers than what they have available.
A business that sometimes has to say, look, I just can't beat the other guy's deal on this one, will cause me to go back to them in the future and give them a chance again. And in fact I've done that on occasion with brick & mortar establishments. I appreciate being respected as a customer. But a business that pretends they have the best deal when we can all see it's not the case, I likely won't return to.
If a blogger wants to prove critics wrong, my free advice is to show it by actions and how you run your business. Not by following around critics and hassling them personally - name calling and such. That, I can't respect. Just my two cents.
I hear what you're saying and agree that a blogger shouldn't lie. But the thing is, the blog is supposed to be
and to be perceived more than just just a collection of deals. A follower who doesn't want anything else from the blog but the deals, is bound to be frustrated after reading the third or even the second top blog from their niche.
Another problem is that some readers expect every blog to be something for everyone, which is not humanly possible in the first place. It really cracks me up when some folks who have been hobbying for 10 years now demand new content to keep them entertained and educated. Trying to keep happy those who know it all is a losing proposition any which way you look at it.
