If not that, then the basically useless/reduced quantities could be a function of USTravel.org’s partners cutting back on their own marketing expenditures funding the sale of discounted items.

If going with the broker/bot narrative, then that would suggest the fast grab/purchases is the action of sophisticated buyers with a better sense than the average Joe for what makes for good return on the $ spent on these packages.
IHG awards nights are now eligible for elite status benefits; and there is that fourth night free thing that has some people wanting as many IHG points as possible.
I am thinking Wyndham also will get grabbed faster this time. Best Western? Well, there was the value gotten on the night of the Beyoncé concert in Stockholm that has me almost thinking maybe I should consider buying more BW points. [Not likely.]
