The way I'm reading this is that there are two groups of people who benefit:
1) International subscribers who can exchange a month for $30 plus dollars and get a record of their choice instead of an ROTM
2) Those locked into a longer term subscription who would rather have credit to put towards an exclusive rather than being forced into a ROTM.
Otherwise, the change is not ideal since it is clear from the language that the amount of exclusives in swaps will decrease and it seems as if manual swaps will no longer be a thing. I think some of this was born out of necessity with COVID-19 related delays, but this also helps with an infusion of cash now since swapping for credit is sort of like an interest-free micro loan.
If you buy any membership longer than month to month aren't you giving them a micro loan?
Is this different that buying any preorder at any store?
Is this a bad thing?
