  Long story short: I thought "a new card every day!" was an important hook when designing the site. User behavior indicates otherwise -- most don't want novelty, they either want a) the same card everyone else wants (because it is seasonal) or b) a particular card which they Googled for. Only about 8% of my users even see the "featured card of the day" page. So yeah, on the face of it, this particular feature breaking is unimportant to most of my users. However, Googlebot is MUCH more impressed with novelty than 92% of my users. Given Googlebot's outsized impact on my business, it is sort of an important stakeholder :)
