if they didn’t do a countdown and yall didn’t get it yall would be mad that they didn’t promote it and didn’t give you time to know what they were selling

ik but personally i think what they did for ttpd was much better, it was so much easier to get a signed copy, it was one per person, and the website actually worked

the second i saw the first tweet i knew what it was and everyone in the replies had a pretty good idea as well. if you’ve been in the fandom you kind of just know to expect signed cds to drop. tweeting about it every hour was unnecessary, they’ve never done that in the past.

this may come as a shock to you but you and the online fandom are not their only target audience. people who want to buy this stuff are not checking what is posted by them every two minutes, the countdown gives more ppl time to see it if they are at work or school and aren’t online at all times

i was at school and literally about to play in a match for tennis, all i had to do was look down at my phone and see the million notifications from taylor nation lol i just think they don’t need to post such obvious hints so resellers can get ready

most people who are interested in buying exclusive merch , like signed cds, have some type of notification either from taylor nation, swift alert, or something else

i fear the target audience quite literally is the online fandom….. that’s why they tweeted about it FOUR TIMES telling people to check the website hourly. if anything what you said agrees with my point because people aren’t on their phones constantly, they don’t need 4 tweets leading up to the drop. one has always been more than enough.

you are SO close to the point…. you are correct a lot of people don’t have notifications on for tn. you know who does?? SCALPERS LOOKING TO RESELL!!! tweeting about the drop incessantly wasn’t helping these “normal people” you’re referring to, it was helping scalpers.

Most scalpers use bots who would have it auto added anyway and scalpers who don’t use a bot probably have all the same stuff as fans, I agree tweeting a lot didn’t help but I 100% thinking the countdown and some tweets helped fans get it

there’s always been a countdown for these things. they’ve NEVER tweeted about it 4 hours in advance. they usually let the fans figure it out on their own and that system usually works fine. they didn’t need to do it that early.
