This sounds like a joke but there's a greater than zero chance it's not?

How did he write that and not punch himself in the dick enough to make him pass out before hitting send?

If your meal was $54 each and arrived 45 days to 2 years late. Yum.

I wouldn't be shocked if they were going to a "send us money, tell us what genres you like and we'll send you something we think fits your interests". "Trust us to curate your box". I think they have been testing the concept with the mystery bundles that have been successful. It's flexible (for them) and mysterious (for you). Helps them move stuff that's sitting and gets them out of some of traps they're in now.

Hey, I guessed right!

the AI customer service has just been a dry run for the AI curation of monthly boxes for people who don't understand how to swap

Herpes you can at least get for free if you try hard enough.

EDIT: I'm not sure if that came out right but fuck it...ship it!

Paully was saying in the discord the "series" of classics, hip hop etc, will continue along with the numbering. But it seems like they want to avoid supply issues like Ramones or Gus Cannon while also placating to those that just want something/anything. Idk

They probably just are not continued on a monthly Basis. So one month there might be a hip hop and country album and the next month classic and Rock. That's how I would read the bringing back of country and rock.
One thing that removed complaints fof them is they should nl longer bd able to oversell an rotm. Since you are not automatically signed for a track and actively swap for it once they are gone you'll have to get something else

As if you need ai for this.
" if swap = inactive set Variable "chosen record" to "torres" "would probably be all the code you need. Once torres is gone you just have to switch the rdcord

But.. what would you do with more time?

That and positioning the crate membership as comparisons to Costco / Amazon Prime.

That and positioning the crate membership as comparisons to Costco / Amazon Prime.

My takeaway from all this is not VMP turning into fucking Blue Apron or whatever those meal things are called (this is a bad analogy in my opinion, it would seem to me that if they were doing build your own mixtape vinyls - then he might have been close) but Costco (except instead of discounted goods, you are getting outrageously priced goods).

The idea that members over there are buying into the crate is the best display of their lemming mentality.

Given the option of having to buy everything at a lesser discount OR buying everything, getting a better discount, and a record every month…. Unless they jack up the memberships the equivalent of $10 a month…. It’s an easy choice.

Only with Amazon Prime you get something besides free shipping.

I can see the crate sub working if you're brand new to collecting and will buy $1000 worth of albums over a year but that's the only use case I see that makes sense

Still don't fully understand how these store drops work. So they are dropping x release tomorrow,. Does it go directly to the store and what's left over is available swaps?

I'd go for it it was like it used to be, $5 a month and I could dip in and out as I like.

I don't understand the cynicism about this meal service. It's clearly a way to motivate members who want to leverage and diversify use of the sleeve-opening knife as a meal utensil.
