Vinyl Me Please (store, exclusives, swaps, etc)

VMP didn't pick it because it was the best platform - it's impossible to be unaware that it's an awful fit for their intended usage. It was a free already-existing option in which they could control access.

They gave us a three period (maybe less?) before they closed their forum and we found both the people to and the money needed to have this nice little place called N&G.

They can go to any other platform, it's not the problem. The problem is the way they communicate with subscribers and shouldn't. It turns into some kind of toxic relationship. Then they say fuck you all and your negativity and start in a new place. They don't learn and still don't know how to communicate. Thing is that without communication, there is no FOMO.
 
I don’t know, guys. I think Discord is exactly what they wanted. The boards became a problem in their eyes because there was a record of the problems. Reddit seemed like a good replacement because surely they could just get enough people to thumbs up shit to get the bad shit regulated to oblivion. Discord is impossible to search and everything just eventually disappears.

Well, they only hurt themselves. I get they didn't (and still don't) like boo birds on the old board, but the flip of that is if you are truly committed to customer service and being the best, you are 1.) Open to what the customer issues are and 2.) Can respectfully respond about what you're gonna do to fix the problem. You can't be in a subscription business at their price level and basically tell paying customers to eff off and hide in the online bushes.

They actually deleted some rooms with all the information that was in there.
 
Interesting numbers from a Joni Mitchell article to give an idea how many units they move in that track, especially in light of their claims to have 20k subs overall.

"Representatives for Mitchell point to a recent Vinyl Me, Please promotion, which seems to be responsible for the musician’s comeback. The Hissing of Summer Lawns was offered for sale on vinyl—as the company’s name suggests—for subscribers only. That promotion reportedly sold around 3,600 copies, according to Vinyl Me, Please."

Nothing about that quote makes sense. It seems to attribute the comeback to VMP.
