No one knew about Beyonce's album dropping. She did no promo. It spread on social media like wildfire and sold over half a million digital copies in three days. I wasn't comparing RSO to Beyoncé FFS. It was just an example of an artist who successfully did what Thinny said can't/shouldn't be done.
And with that, I'm throwing in the towel. It's exhausting to have to break things down to the lowest common denominator because points (that are really not that complicated) go flying over people's heads. This isn't the first time, but it's definitely the last. I just can't stomach this forum anymore. Too much stupidity running amuck.

With all due respect, if everyone (minus RD who keeps calling you he?) didn't understand the point you were making, calling us stupid is one way of handling it, understanding that maybe it wasn't a great point is another. If you suggest something that doesn't go over well on a discussion board and people discuss it, kinda par for the course. No one is attacking you or being rude about it, we just disagree.
Totally understood what you were saying but again, it's Beyonce. It sold on wildfire partly because she had everything in place. She successfully did what Thinny said can't/shouldn't be done with a big team in place and years of touring behind her. We're not misunderstanding what you're saying, your example just doesn't make sense to me.
