    I’m pretty sure it’s number 2. They originally had a limit on the number of people who could read something at one time (likely to match the number of licenses they held), but during the pandemic, they lifted this limit and let an unlimited number of people read it.

    • Literally just read that in another thread. Apparently publishers let them do this during the pandemic, but when asked to go back after the pandemic, they refused.

      How braindead are they, that they thought they could do this without consequence? It’s not like it was a “hope they don’t notice” thing; they were in direct communication with the publishers.
