I just feel sorry for Drew the Disney Dude...he was looking forward to this like it was the Parousia. I know he's avoiding spoilers, so I didn't @ him, but I'll be really curious to hear his thoughts once he rides it.
It was to keep paying people I am sure so that Influencers would not be the first days to weeks of a lot of the riders dropping money on Genie Plus for content.
This will likely backfire on them a bit since Content Creators have less thunder.
Alright, now to the people to chime in with endless positivity and you can't critique aspects from a video crowd.
And they are the same ones that said lack of conflict would not hurt the dynamic or pacing of the ride.
