The 2018 report expanded collection and reached 5,607 records, pulled by Americanas, Casas Bahia and Netshoes. Despite the volume of more than 3,500 complaints in 2017, the movement is seen as a consequence of greater consumer demand for storeowners' history. Already in 2016, the still smaller number of 2.9 thousand was seen as a result of the reduced daily adhesion of offers generally due to the economic crisis.

According to the Complain Here, the Brazilian bought less and researched more in 2015, which is why the number of complaints would have been 4.4 thousand, despite the good retail results that year. The amount was almost a third of the previous year, when 12,000 complaints were filed. Technical issues, price makeup, and cart product summary, as well as payment errors were some of the most common.

In 2013, at the third edition of Black Friday in Brazil, consumers protested a lot, although the event did not have much public acceptance. In the first monitoring of Complain Here, the site counted 8.5 thousand records during the 24 hours of offer.
