i think it really is just the perfect storm of shit that doesn't happen much (all the swaps into Ramones) combined with decisions the company brought upon themselves (shorter swap windows, tracks ending, lowering pressing numbers, mediocre curation).
i don't think this is as big an issue if they properly communicated it all as it was happening. email the people who swapped into essentials and say "due to unprecedented demand, we have oversold rocket to russia so unfortunately we will have to prioritize people with essentials as their main sub. here are some special items we can offer you a swap for, or we can swap you for credit and we'll add $15 in." bing bang boom. instead they beat around the bush, emailed some people but not others, then checked out for the long weekend.
