Don't assume fares are mistakes by nature. Blogs are often just doing the airlines' bidding

Can't agree more and I don't mind this one bit

I don't mind wider groups but when a good fare starts to pop up on millions of peoples FB feed that is not a good sign that a fare will last long.

To be perfectly honest, no.

There are x number of seats and y amount of time for any good/great deal.

I would much rather these deals go to my FT brothers and sisters than the masses.

Was this a part of the sale that ended yesterday?

It's funny, yesterday when I checked GDS it was showing the sale is valid until 31/May/2016 for travel up to 30/Nov/16. But now, it's showing X10May which means the fare is valid except this day (today), and likely this will follow for other days from now on and to get deleted from fare list eventually. I believe QR team has realized the fare is too cheap to be sold.
