I’ve thought of that same thing Matt... does a drop in members mean the service then becomes worth it since figures are more available? While I spent last year, my spending decreased dramatically as the year wore on. For whatever reason, pulse went from a reliable place to preorder to them having incredibly short preorder windows on much of their product. The Gonk wave seemed to be among the earliest to start to sell out immediately.
I would be a pulse member if they could somehow guarantee accounts two figure limited preorders, or some format like that. I’d be a loyal pulse subscriber and general customer. But they don’t seem interested in that, or I’d think they’d have mentioned it. Something akin to that was in a questionnaire they sent out but nothing seemed to come of any of it.
For me Amazon has now become more reliable with EE and bbts next. Pulse, it’s usually PO sold out before I’m even off work, or hell, before I even get a moment at work to try with my phone to get an order in.
I loved pulse when it worked but when it doesn’t, I’m just hard pressed to pay for that then.
