Own the Moment's Top Shot Bottleneck Purchases: What should happen next?

On Friday, Taylor Stein's latest Minted Moment newsletter revealed that Own The Moment purchased 23 "bottleneck" Moments, starting about 30 minutes after the new Collector Score bonuses were released — more than any other collector.

The problem? Own The Moment was given information about these Collector Score changes several hours before the public in a private interview with Top Shot community lead Jacob Eisenberg, giving the OTM team the opportunity to analyze the new requirements and parse out the most advantageous purchases before the public. 

Host Max Minsker gives his thoughts on these bottleneck purchases, explains why the community may be overreacting, and considers what Own The Moment and Top Shot can do to rectify the situation.
