    1. AppSumo needs to stop selling AI apps on broken economics
    2. If you bought a deal in the past 12 months from AppSumo and the software has been abandoned, please post it. We should have each other's backs, because AppSumo does not have ours. 2026 is looking to be the year of abandoned software for AppSumo?
