BREAKING: merchant feed consolidation thinning the long tail of small-store codes
We hear two network feed providers merged their catalog handling, and in the cleanup hundreds of small/seasonal merchants got dropped from the public feed — the very long-tail stores low-competition coupon pages were built on.
