This is a weird year. Supply chains are partly freed up, but prices are up so people are buying less stuff. That means retailers have a lot of inventory left around to move. They're doing more sales this year and spreading them out over more time to try to make room for new stuff. I don't know how to explain what's going on with Amazon sellers, but I'm not sure it's that different from normal, non-Black Friday behavior.
