    Catch lost its identity when it became an Amazon competitor. At least selling one thing a day at a massive discount was an interesting gimmick. It just didn’t stand out enough as a regular online store

    I used to buy some of their lame crap back when it was 1 unique item a day. It was kind of fun, even if most of the stuff I ended up with was total junk.

    But just being eBay, or Amazon, or Kogan, but worse? What’s the point.
