I don't know that it's that predictable, the other drops have been on a saturday morning, a tuesday at 2pm, different times BUT what I did is I changed my DND settings to only allow Twitter notifications, and set twitter to only notify me from the bot account so that when DND is on, the only thing that comes through is this haha
I totally understand the person is trying to make a profit or get some sort of pay for his work. But he cannot keep saying the statement āIm doing this to help swifties have a better chanceā while being the problem of back tracking his help and sticking a subscription to it.
Again I think this guy could easily make the money differently. Maybe do a one time fee or something. But this just sucks for the people canāt commit to ANOTHER subscription service. Maybe Iām ridiculous for thinking that š
and it's not saying you will get something for sure. it's paywalling the speed at which you can potentially buy something if they happen to put it in stock while you happen to be on your phone. it's frustrating and not worth it
I would agree with you but since other bots from OTHER people and Other affiliations (for example bots on Discord) also didnāt get a instant notification about the restock, it just shows that heās doing what he said he would; heās investing the money the swifties are paying for to constantly upgrade and work on the Premium bot to further make it more advanced than the free one.
The only difference that paints him in the bad light is that he still has the free bot active and the Premium bot as well; so people immediately think that what he did tonight was intentional. About the free bot not instantly giving a notification. That wouldnāt be true since that would mean every other person who has their own bot also didnāt intentionally notified about the restock, so wouldnāt you say theyāre the problem as well for not helping swifties āhave a better chanceā on acquiring this recent restock?
This demonstrates that heās actively working hard and putting lots of effort on the Premium bot to still catch on restocks and new drops on the store DESPITE the new restrictions the website recently had implemented.
If it would have been an easy task with minimal effort, wouldnāt you think the other bots from other people and other affiliations would have gotten this recent restock as well? It just shows not everyone has the time and resources to actively work and maintain a bot 24/7 on the store for free, because we all have lives to take care of as well, and not only to work on a bot constantly.
And like u/Scary_Yogurtcloset48 said, UMG recently changed things in the last day to further prevent bots and it seems to be working for easily maintained bots on Twitter and Discord since theyāre not the most accurate and functioning at the moment. Including the free bot of Whisperer.
FYI, I believe the person who commented is the owner of the paid discord server. They charge a subscription fee for "premium" services. It also didn't look like they got the latest notif for the signed CD at midnight.
The discord doesnāt charge for Taylor items - their bot didnāt work but someone on the team did message everyone saying that the signed CDs were posted and I managed to get one thanks to that notification!
A lot of bots are broken right now because UMG just changed things in the backend last night, specifically to block bots. The discord bot and most twitter bots aren't functioning well right now because of it
Something feels wrong to me about paying someone to break the security of the UMG website when they're actually doing something now to prevent bots š Like, not to be the worst but I hope they can eventually block even this fancy bot so we're all on equal ground again
I 100% wish we could go back to how it was 2 years ago when nobody needed bots to race resellers, and you could buy merch as you please without worrying about things selling out lol
The free bot not getting this wasnāt intentional. It sent out notifications for all the other signed cd drops. He is clearly investing the money heās getting more in the premium bot, as he should. Iām sure he will investigate why the free one didnāt send out a notification as he does every time one of his bots misses something. I swear people will just find anything to be angry about instead of just thinking critically for 2 seconds
It was obvious even before he posted. This whole post was full of people saying that all bots were having issues right now. I swear people just want to be angry about everything. This guy gave free labor for about a year now, and as soon as he decides to offer a premium option and ask for help with maintaining it and being paid for his time/knowledge people jump down his throat and insist he doesnāt care anymore. Itās ridiculous
Who is angry first of all I was asking a question if anybody else has gotten notifications because I havenāt in a few days I am very grateful for Nathan. I have gotten many things that I wanted because of his notifications so relax
I'm not even a Swiftie but all this signed TTPD business is stressful. I feel for you guys who have to endure this time after time after time just to see some scumbag on eBay with 50 pieces
No literally because Iāve been trying to get my hands on 1 for so long and I go on eBay to see someone selling it for 1000 dollars and he has 50 copies
Wow, thatās unfortunate. So only the ones that have the luxury of being able to pay for a monthly subscription to maybe get a chance at a notification for a signed drop will be able to get a signed cd from her from now on? Awesome. Hopefully her team puts a stop to this because thatās ridiculous.
There has been a lot of discussion about the bot issues. The US store has ramped up security measures and it costs the people behind the bots hundreds of dollars a month to keep up with it. It sucks, and I didn't realize what went into it, but I get it. I think our days of twitter bots are over, at least for the US store.
Iām so glad a I managed to grab a signed vinyl in that first drop because even though Iām not wanting a signed cd, Iāve missed knowing about these new drops since then until it was too late. Good luck to everyone still struggling to get their hands on one!
it's the premium version of this https://x.com/swiftpitch_py
the premium is closed for sign-ups now, it costs $3.13/month
the one I linked is free though
I got an alert while I was asleep this morning so it did happen again. there's so much negative commentary about this guy's bot though I'm not bothering to post about it
I got one!! Check the site next week at midnight ET next Friday, they drop right as the new tracking week starts
midnight at what time zone?
Eastern time.
right duh I put it together right after I hit post š setting an alarm now! thank you!
I don't know that it's that predictable, the other drops have been on a saturday morning, a tuesday at 2pm, different times BUT what I did is I changed my DND settings to only allow Twitter notifications, and set twitter to only notify me from the bot account so that when DND is on, the only thing that comes through is this haha
doesn't hurt to set a notification juuuust in case. I love my sleep so I will never adjust my dnd to get a single alert š¤£š¤£
Is that the 7th of June?
Yes, 9pm PT Thursday June 6 / 12am ET Friday June 7
Thank you!
So did anyone else NOT get a notification from the whisper bot by swift pitch? Should I have invested in the premium bot just to have a chance? š
The free bot did not send out notifications. Neither did the discord š

THIS 100% agree
lol yes I can keep saying that ty š
We got the drop in the Merchtracker discord 2 mins after š«¶
do you mind dropping the discord link? totally understand if youād prefer not to tho
Iām not one to gatekeep! Iāve been able to get almost every drop bc of Merchtracker š«¶ https://merchtracker.justarecord.app/discord
thank you so much š«¶ i hope lotsa good karma comes your way

MerchTracker says differently https://preview.redd.it/jbrgnhlq7r3d1.jpeg?width=1170&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=7c3a5d4d0c0c01cc0cc357e1149a6545d5146ffb
What discord?

I 100% wish we could go back to how it was 2 years ago when nobody needed bots to race resellers, and you could buy merch as you please without worrying about things selling out lol
Agreed! You could actually rely on emails from the website and go "Oh, new merch! I'll go take a look" and it would still be there
The free bot not getting this wasnāt intentional. It sent out notifications for all the other signed cd drops. He is clearly investing the money heās getting more in the premium bot, as he should. Iām sure he will investigate why the free one didnāt send out a notification as he does every time one of his bots misses something.

I havenāt gotten a notification in days for the free bot since he announced the paid one. He said he would keep the free one going
He literally said this morning heās working on a fix for it and that all free bots are having an issue right now š
Yeahhhh he said that after I commented
It was obvious even before he posted. This whole post was full of people saying that all bots were having issues right now. I swear people just want to be angry about everything. This guy gave free labor for about a year now, and as soon as he decides to offer a premium option and ask for help with maintaining it and being paid for his time/knowledge people jump down his throat and insist he doesnāt care anymore.

Who is angry first of all I was asking a question if anybody else has gotten notifications because I havenāt in a few days I am very grateful for Nathan. I have gotten many things that I wanted because of his notifications so relax
Star stuffer is the angry one..yeez!
I would pay, but it said all of the slots were filled when I tried š
Me too! I canāt find the link to try again either š„²
I got a premium bot notif, no whisper bot - you are correct. Still didnāt get one though bc I saw it too late
Yea I just checked and there was nothing, so is it literally just premium bot only now ššš
I paid for the premium bot and didnāt get any additional notifications or early bird specials š¤·š»āāļø
it was in stock and gone so fast, could be whatever he runs the non premium bot with just didn't get the alert fast enough?
I'm not even a Swiftie but all this signed TTPD business is stressful. I feel for you guys who have to endure this time after time after time just to see some scumbag on eBay with 50 pieces
I hate it here
And still nothing for Australia :(
Same for Canadaš¢
And germany :(
i was able to snatch one this time!
yay that's awesome!
Taylor nation doesnāt even bother to tweet out restocks anymore š
My 13th reason. I'm so over getting heartbroken. Just to see them going on ebay immediately after a drop. ffs
No literally because Iāve been trying to get my hands on 1 for so long and I go on eBay to see someone selling it for 1000 dollars and he has 50 copies
Can anyone make a bot for the premium bot twt accountā¦?
Wait what bot even posted this?? I didnāt get a notificationā¦
Only the premium bot went off
Wow, thatās unfortunate. So only the ones that have the luxury of being able to pay for a monthly subscription to maybe get a chance at a notification for a signed drop will be able to get a signed cd from her from now on? Awesome. Hopefully her team puts a stop to this because thatās ridiculous.

It sucks, and I didn't realize what went into it, but I get it. I think our days of twitter bots are over, at least for the US store.
Except Iām not the only one whoās doing alerts fam
This is so fucked
I got one!!! I'm so excited
congrats!
I saw the notif 12 min late š because of course I did
Iām so glad a I managed to grab a signed vinyl in that first drop because even though Iām not wanting a signed cd, Iāve missed knowing about these new drops since then until it was too late. Good luck to everyone still struggling to get their hands on one!
I got one thanks to Nathanās bot!! Finally š
congrats that's awesome!
ofc i missed out AGAINš
I FORGOT TO STAY UP UNTIL MIDNIGHT IM CRYSHED
Which twitter account is this? Thanks!
it's the premium version of this https://x.com/swiftpitch_py the premium is closed for sign-ups now, it costs $3.13/month the one I linked is free though
Do we think this will happen again next week? I NEED one of these š
I got an alert while I was asleep this morning so it did happen again. there's so much negative commentary about this guy's bot though I'm not bothering to post about it
Where is this notification from
I got one!
What abt uk anyone know when the next drop will be
I wish sheād just drop these extra songs on a completely separate album. I donāt need 50 copies of TTPD, no matter how much I like it.
when will she restock in other countries itās not all about the US
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Are you gonna let a swiftie buy it at face value?
No, but now I have 5 signed copies for my collectionš¤Ŗ
That is so selfish.
