Hello Matthew, for your paid subscription service would it be possible to maybe let us know like 15 minutes before you text your twitter army? I feel those us of who are supporting you should have a small advantage. Just my two cents.

Hi Joe. Thanks for being a paid Founding Member 🙏 and supporting me. So, this is going to work for some retailers and not for others. Best Buy, I had info ahead of time here saying "Look out for a Thursday restock. Last week they did Monday for Totaltech and Thursday for everyone. This week they've done Monday for Totaltech so far... there's a pattern here?" And it turned out to be true. I did the same for Sam's Club and Target in a single 24 hours a week prior. I can dive into more hunches here.
Some alerts like Walmart and GameStop, I have ample heads-ups about and can fire off an email. Others I need to rely on Twitter as they're knee-jerk reactionary tweets (sending an email probably won't help if I feel like it'll sell out in >3 mins). It's all about trying to find the right balance to actually be helpful. I hope that explanation helps!
Understandable, but two things: 1) there are no ads tracking you – so I have to make money doing this somewhere for all of the time I spend; 2) no one is doing this in tech journalism where I get back to your messages personally within 5 mins. I was getting to 1,000 a day on Twitter, and it was taking all of my time. Might as well create US jobs doing this, which is my No. 1 goal and will happen in 2022.
I understand you value your time and agree you should be compensated for it. I support you in that endeavor. I just hope I’m wrong in thinking creating a tiered access to product availability runs the risk of reducing your following.

It make sense of course, it just an idea. Let’s never fight again. 🤗
Not sure I like the pay to play concept. It’s a community, you’re supporting the cause not trying to create a hierarchy of access to intel.
