Creator's Key Takeaways
I'm certainly not going to sit here and tell you that that feedback is wrong.
I really honestly don't think these changes are as catastrophic as everyone is making out.
I don't know why the Rockstar rates are getting any less than the premium rate. I really struggle to understand this.
The Voyage Fair options, I think, make a lot of sense.
