I've seen William actively posting and I've seen posts by some of the other Bonvoy folks. Each was given a nominal 20 post count to get them past the software throttling that occurs for new accounts.
The lurkers absolutely bring value. The Lacek Group pins while Insiders has been down highlights that Marriott runs Insiders with an outsourced social media team, like many other companies. Obviously, that outsourced social media team has no ability to do anything meaningful for members or even identify trends.

You may be right. We'll find out on the 28th/1st. Of course, its good to see the reports to REITs and hotel operators who manage/own properties from multiple brands as they don't need to spin pro-management. Last quarter, they were pretty consistent that the 8/18 was no big deal and they weren't seeing any problems.
