It's also mostly performative now. Used to be Black Friday was one day with really good deals, most people didn't pay much attention except the few looking for a great bargain. Now it's Black Friday Weekend, Cyber Monday, Black Friday Week, etc etc; all marketed as such with the name 'black friday', and most of the deals aren't really that good.

I've gotten a few good deal TVs on Black Friday. Last few years--- I don't even really bother. A lot of the stores only had really good deals on lower end stuff and only in store at like 6am. Sorry but I don't want to be part of a human stampede at 6am to buy a cheap TV. I'd rather pay a few bucks extra and keep my dignity.
