💯💯💯 to all of this. it wasn't just rich users buying dom, it was rich users running their own push as a group effort.
genuinely, i hope we see more of this from other flights as well, as the meta desperately needs something to change. there is a lot of pressure on dom leads to organize stuff like this, but for whatever reason in some flights the leads are not willing or able (or maybe the non-leads just want to do something! there's no reason it HAS to go through the leads). if small groups of users can fundraise and pull off small battles like this more frequently... that would be amazing.
i am SO over the hyper negotiated calcified dom calendar. IMO all pushes except for fests (and maybe like, the few times a year weaker dom flights do PBs for 1st) should be fair game. no one is OWED a certain week! coli and exalting is boring af without these stakes!

the sheer pressure on teams is so much and i feel like there's a lot of "flight politics" to juggle
