MODERATORS
It's actually a great way to roll out a product. The reason they are paying content creators is to drive engagement on their product so that people get excited and pre-order/buy said product. They don't care about fairness or rules or whatever. They just want to make more money.
If you don't like it, try to remember it next time they release a new product.
Sure, but if the embargo was September 1st, or even the same day I get my book, that all would still apply; and I would have access to the product.
What is the purpose of building hype for a product I can't have?
If you still want to buy it after them doing this, then that's exactly the purpose.
I mean I already bought it, before I knew about any of this pre-release or embargo stuff.
I'm also not sure your logic tracks even if I hadn't bought it.
I am excited for a product. They build hype. I'm still excited, but also annoyed.
But if I weren't excited. They build hype. Now I am excited, but also annoyed.
I fully understand why they release it to "influencers", but why prevent me from having the product? They've made the sale. I'm in. All they're doing is preventing further sales. If I can't have the thing I bought then I can't want more of a similar thing.
