This wasn't a sustainable promotion, there was a limited number, yet they told all their readers about it. It ended up pitting readers against readers for the limited number of packages. Hardly a way to foster community.
That's faulty logic. When you have the information you, at least, have a fighting chance. When you don't have the information, then... well, then you don't. Does NOT providing you the information help you as a reader? Or does it make you mad at the blogger who decided not to share the info in order to "protect" you?
