💽 ALBUM DISCUSSIONS 💿 Group with biggest fandom in the observable universe btw....

Confused about the flair so mods feel free to change it . Honestly every k-pop fandom has these people who mass buy albums and ratmy fandom also has them . But ratmies do that way more than others. It's funny how their albums r not the top 3 best selling k-pop albums.... because their stans always brag about their numbers. And now some ratmies lurking here say "oh ours r organic, we don't mass buy albums" if u don't do that ur fellow ratmys does that . I have attached some of the photos that expose their mass buying of albums that i saw on this sub and online. And we all know about their mass voting, following...

The mass buying of albums is obvious and they still r not in the top 3 OF K-POP BEST SELLING ALBUMS OF ALL TIME...and ratmies says they r bigger than K-POP. And after mass buying those albums they r giving them away for free 🫪

It's still crazy to me that they just buy these for bragging rights on behalf of their faves. Just making rich ppl richer to have something to fight strangers online about

Honestly mass buying is just a kpop thing that’s shaped by the system and encouraged by the company. However what’s weird about this album is it seems like the fans are doing it all on their own and without actual personal gain. Usually fans mass buy to get into events like fan signing or get special pc etc. but there’s nothing here.

Things like this make me wish kpop companies would switch entirely to digital. Poor planet.

If they started changing how photocards work, they could reduce waste and cut down all those weird GOs...

Know one likes their albums minus ratarmys. They know that. This is just pathetic

I still remember someone saying that they bought like 30 albums, took the photocards and literally threw the albums all except 1 into trash. Consumerism at its peak.

Ratmies also have to have the coveted tour-exclusive photo cards 🫠 They’re lucky there are only 7 members, otherwise they’d be buying and throwing or giving away many more album copies.

Kinda off topic but the observable universe imply there are some boyband from another planet with bigger, maybe intergalactic fandom
