Why do people do this? I don't understand it.

I see nothing wrong with helping other people

I post all the news/links on my Twitter page.
PICKETT PRIDE ✊🏽

Take for instance when this Mattel Creations pre order LJN two pack is due to be released these "YouTubers" and Twitter followers who randomly make a noise about it on their Instagram stories for not much other reason than to get instant validation are going to make more people aware of it like they did with the No Holds Barred two pack and by hyping it too much, they it for us and they it for themselves, and we will be back on eBay again.

I don't understand why they don't just keep quiet about it. Yes there are some that do it to help others, but are they really helping themselves by doing this.

It's almost like lining up for pre order concert tickets outside the box office and then half an hour before they are making a noise about it within the box office proximity, along the lines of "hey the tickets are over there" that gets more people lining up for a ticket, giving themselves and more of the other people less of a chance.

I think that this No Holds Barred pre order could have been alot more attainable if more people didn't advertise it on their social media when they really didn't have to. It just gets more people aware about it that didn't know about it before, and now if they want it and remember when it goes on pre order then they have the same chance of getting it as you, regardless if you want it ten times more.
It all added up I think.

They do it to build a following. If they get enough followers, then they get free stuff. Or they just like helping out the community.

bruh wtf is this post

It’s posted here when stuff goes up, why you mad people share it on their profiles

This post is confusing 🤣 I don't mind ppl posting links and stuff, sometimes I'm at work and don't have all the time in the world to go looking for stuff that's gonna go up on preorder, and it helps when someone steals informing and post it on their page! Makes my job easier, I wouldn't have known amazon HBk went up if I didn't get stolen information!!

People who are buying limited products in bulk to sell at a markup are going to find out about the product whether or not Chungus' Rasslin' Fig Reviews posts it on his YouTube/Instagram/Twitter.

"Influencers" made the noise about the NHB set because they were given the NHB set to make noise about. If they weren't drawing the amount of attention that Mattel wanted on their product, they wouldn't have been given the product to hype. It's kinda weird that people still struggle with that concept. It's some of the cheapest marketing a company can buy when their business is predicated upon relatively low cost product.

Ok well my stance on this has changed after reading the replies. The title was - I don't understand it, but I understand it a bit more now. Yes it is helpful to find out when and where the pre orders are, but honestly I hate it when it's just randomly posted on someones random Instagram story or on their Twitter, just reacting to it. I don't see why it's necessary. It isn't really helping is it.

For example after this No Holds Barred pre order was announced....people instantly reacted to it and made their own post of it on their Twitter or IG story with reactions like "it's great"...."it looks perfect."
I don't understand why. It's not helpful at all in this context is it?? It's just getting unnecessary attention from people who wouldn't have been normally interested in it. That's my point.

isnt this the same guy who got buried on the NHB thread?
