Steam holiday sales are getting disappointing sale after sale (at least for me)

I'm talking in general. There were always -%50 discounts for most of games on sale time before(sometimes even -%75). And they would do it even -%75/80 on flash sales.
But nowadays, they are only putting like -%35 or -%50 discounts for big partition of sales. And maximum, it only becomes -%66 sometimes. I really mean "sometimes". It is rare.

I am following deals since from beginning this winter, most of those deals were for actually cheap bundle games, or known cheap games from another websites.
In conclusion, this whole year, Amazon beat Steam in my opinion, in video game deals section.

Steam still provides them with STEAM keys, they just sell at the price they want.

If you find a better deal, buy it from there.

If anything that's the most disappointing part - that essentially all these games are just indie titles.

I agree with you. Amazon is the best for me.

I enjoyed getting the two Mass Effect games for $10. Was waiting/hoping for that!

The number of threads complaining about this is getting disappointing as well.

I don't think Steam is even trying to compete anymore. They're getting their shit smashed by everybody else's deals.

I think the problem is that all the games you're seeing at 75% off you either already own or it has been 75% off many times before. At least it's that way in my case, haven't really spent a whole lot this season. I'm sure there are people out there that are new to steam and are enjoying it.
