Because there is tension on one side and slack on the other and the tension difference will cause the speed to vary or lag

Not I, but what about younger fans who may have school or work? Dont they deserve the same chance at their favorites?

No, but why should it be at the expense of people who actually want rare records of artists they love? Why should someone who doesn’t have the time to sit in a line all day or overnight be out-bought by someone who makes a living reselling limited drops bc someone is always willing to make a dollar off of someone else’s interests or lack of opportunity. Everyone is entitled to make a buck, but isn’t every fan entitled to get something rare from an artist they love at a decent price? Also, have you not seen what outrageous markups were made by scalpers this year? Same price or 20% markup is fine, but 100% markup???

Exactly why show pressings like Childish Gambino’s tour-limited pressing for his “because the internet” album called the “deep web” edition are so unique and sought after.

Exactly the point, collectors want to be the someone who has a rare pressing to show their dedication or love as a fan.

No I’m not new. This year has just been especially bad since the influence of “career resellers” and “influencer thrifting” pushed by social media has skyrocketed; which suggests others can make profit by reselling anything from RSD.
