What's the main way you look through giveaways?
For those who don't know about filters, check out this thread from cg to see the various parameters you can use to filter giveaways. If you use these filters, what is your main way of filtering? I used to use point_min=5 but then I just started hiding 90% of the games below 5P

You have heavily culled the pool of giveaways but those that remain are sorted by Default / All in the screenshot

Usually wishlist and recommended, if i'm in the mood i'll go check the ones that are to end in the next 24 hours

Esgst Filters. Can't recall what the default filters without esgst are like.
Filtering out GAs with near impossible chance of winning.

Default view, hardly ever have more than one page, except when a new humble choice comes out with a bunch of games I want (until I buy it, and then filter them all out). I don’t belong to any groups so my normal giveaway list is much smaller than others who have to use custom filters.
I have all games set to show by default, and have slowly filtered everything to my hidden list over the years.
(I also have the new mature filter turned on now.)

Same. I just look at every "new" giveaway every day or so and decide if it's a game I'll play or not. Hide those I'll never play and that makes for a way shorter list of GAs to go through.
Even with a handful of groups, it really makes custom filters irrelevant.

I rarely see more than one page, so I just go with default/all, and hide the uninteresting one.
I don't wishlist the full spectrum of how interested I am in a game, so WL view is more or less useless., I can see new giveaways because there's so few... it works out :)

Most of the time I open the new GA.
But as others have said, when I wake up and when I go to sleep I check the default.
And if I’m in the mood I try to hide shovelware so those games never appear again here

Wishlist wishlist wishlist.
Every once in a blue moon i check group. More rarely All
Only recently ive indulged in going to all GAs just to store points prior to choice release. Like entering a bunch of GAs week or so away just to 1-2 days later exit all of them so i can enter a bunch of 50ps or such.
Still i barely started im already slowing down, its like im saving points for nothing- may make sense before something like christmas events because my focus on WL only dont leave much options
My WL is insanely big(anything i think i may be interested or want to check later i wishlist) but recently ive been winding down- trying to beat more games, going not only after things i know i will like on my WL but things i know i will play right away, i dont want to win things for backlog anymore... and that is leaving with even less options.
This choice for example, Tales&Tactics, Trepang and Dungeon Masters are all on my WL- but im not really in the mood... wich left me only with Driftlands as newly bundled GAs.

5) Groups
6) DLC
7) Multiple copies
8) All until I run out of points
9) Repeat in a few hours/tomorrow

I add all games I am interested in playing to my Steam wishlist and use that here to easily filter GAs to enter. Then I use the main list when I want to look at games I don't know about and hide the ones I am not interested in. I currently have over 26,000 games hidden. Doing these 2 things makes sifting through the massive number of GAs a breeze, it just takes some time and dedication to build up the hidden games list. Just work on it for a short time each day and it will pay off in the long run with the amount of time it saves.

With 31,481 games hidden, I don't really need any special methods, so it's always default for me.

pretty much i use Steamgifts to find new wishlist. tired of trying to win stuff.
1) click Steam gamepage icon.
2.) if game is nice then "add" to wishlist | if bad looking game click "ignore" button on Steam.
3) Hide the game on Steamgifts.
Clear the GAs list daily. With GAs above my level turned on to give me some extra games to check.

Just start off with those soonest to end. I have a ton of games ignored/hidden, plus a fat library, so looking at the next 24 hours of giveaways is usually just browsing page 1:)
I do check for wishlisted games.
I also look for dlcs (get a sort of satisfied feeling when I find those that are owned so can also be hidden).
I like simple puzzles so also check for any jigidis. Am currently enjoying some of the nonogram puzzles that have popped up too :)
Rest of the day is for real life :)
