It's actually gotten more legit. Most of the coupons are seeded there by vendors themselves these days. Which is how they just IPOed for a billion dollars.

The original point was to get discount codes that weren't given out willy-nilly by the vendors, so I'd say that makes it less useful/legit, not more.
