I just made it as a joke. Then some of you followed it, so I felt obligated to post something. Maybe I should lean into it and go bigger

I guess IGs algorithms are no joke and linked your account to the people that matter.

It's mostly gonna be reddit posts or shit from here, if I don't find enough ig reposts, and I don't want to violate anyone's trust when they post in this space, even if it's technically a public platform. Reddit seems more like fair game.
I'll throw more on there. If anyone wants something removed, tell me. If you want something added, let me know that, too.
The one thing about ig is that they removed the ability to post comments. It's like how they deleted the forum and reddit proved worse for them in the end. They can't silence every one/thing forever

Wait until I start tagging the actual images themselves with their account

I super respect this. People expecting special treatment based on how many strangers they've convinced to follow them makes me want to puke and yell for the kids to get off my lawn. I've had a few friends that have found their 15 minutes of social media fame for whatever reason, and they're so insufferable now. My old best friend/college roommate disappeared for 2 hours during our other friend's wedding reception, and when he reappeared we learned it was because he and his boyfriend liked the light on the second floor balcony and were working on a photo shoot

I still don't understand this move. 1 month subs will be back before April, I bet.

They removed them around last April for new subscribers. Nothing ever fully returns.

it was a very cocky move. They really thought people loved them so much that people would just bump to the 3 months without blinking an eye. Not realizing that the ones that were monthly were mostly just hanging in there til they got their shit right. Im guessing instead of increasing profits this move just gave a bunch of people a reason to go ahead and cut the cord. I don't know for sure but I'm thinking this move is back firing.

It's just one in an endless series of moves that has backfired

Where is the actual sorry? Or the olive branch?
I’m a member of another, much smaller, club and they fucked up royally last year. They gave every member a free record to say sorry. Now I get that 30,000 free records is a lot but a discount? A few represses to give some good records for swaptions? something, anything, other than just we are still fucking working on it!

So I'm guessing this is the "email" (I did not get this) Pauly was referencing?

Nope, I just received an email re: this from VMP. Looks like they're doing both.

I got it too.
This is their reasoning behind the 26 record boxes. Has anyone here ever worked in a fulfillment center? I’m still not sure how this happens.
Due to human error in a new process at the warehouse, some orders that were intended to go to multiple people, were instead put into a single box and shipped to a single person. The result is some people getting things they didn’t order, others getting tracking emails that show their order going to the wrong address.

they didn't have a choice, they've been reading social media for 2 months.
I actually think it may have gone out to EVERYONE (instead of only those impacted by issues like they’ve done often in the past).
I canceled when the forum went down in May (Hi anyone that remembers me!), haven’t made a single purchase there since and I even received it.
