#PrimeDay Amazon Fail: Twitter Complaints About Amazon’s Epic Sale Cause #PrimeDay Hashtag To Surge
The Amazon “Prime Day” touted by the online retailing giant was supposed to be epic, as reported by the Inquisitr. Promoting their “Prime Day” with hyperbole and rhetoric that claimed it would be bigger than Black Friday set expectations high for Amazon Prime members.
in other news, #primeday is not the soul stirring, life affirming experience I expected it to be. color me underwhelmed.

However, once Amazon revealed their ‘Prime Day’ sales, the #PrimeDay hashtag began surging on Twitter, both with tweets from those likely hawking their Amazon Associates referral links hoping to make quick bucks on those who click through and buy Amazon ‘Prime Day’ wares — and from those complaining about the lack of sales expected.
In quantity of deals, maybe they beat Black Friday, but in quality, they are way off base. #PrimeDay

As such, the #PrimeDayFail hashtag is also being used in certain tweets from disappointed Amazon Prime customers.
Just when I thought I’d find nothing I needed, these wedding table top place card holders appeared. #PrimeDay! #PrimeDayFail

Even those tweeting about the Amazon “Prime Day” sale in a tongue-in-cheek manner can hardly be distinguished from those who are really excited about the Amazon deals found. As reported by CNN Money, most folks are calling the much-hyped Amazon “Prime Day” a glorified lightning deals kind of sale, with lots of quantity but not a high quality of sales.
Get over #PrimeDay, everyone. You knew it was made up, and I got 2 workout belts for cheap, so I’m cool with it.

Others are coming against those filling the #PrimeDay hashtag with #PrimeDayFail tweets, saying that even if those coming against Amazon’s ‘Prime Day’ aren’t feeling the love, they are with their epic hauls.
The funniest tweets about Amazon’s ‘Prime Day’ include those who embed videos of #PrimeDay attitudes from Amazon Prime buyers, barging onto the Internet as if they were a car barreling into a shopping mall to steal things.

And the humor simply continues, with one intrepid Twitter user noticing that 15 isn’t even a prime number, while Amazon keeps pumping their ‘Prime Day’ under the #PrimeDay hashtag galore.
My disappointment for #PrimeDay came early when I was mad that the 15th isn’t even a prime number. #DoomedToFail
