That £500 threshold they're burying in the consultation

Low week here — green enough to cover but thin, the kind that feels borrowed. Been watching that affordability check proposal crawl forward, the £500 monthly trigger nobody's shouting about. Hits the Cleobetra/DragonSlots crowd hardest, the ones who think non-GamStop means invisible. Anyone else feeling the squeeze before the rule even lands, or am I just weather-sensitive today?

That's the exact weight of it. £500 Lands different when you're already feeling borrowed—makes the threshold feel almost considerate, which is the real trap. I've had that thin-green week myself, small win just covering, and it's wild how clear the architecture gets when you're not chasing. You trust your gut on this.

£500 Feels borrowed because it *is* borrowed — you're fronting variance against a future you haven't cleared yet.
Had that exact texture last month, Goldenbet clone run kept me green but the whole week sat like debt. Difference is I knew where the line was: £1.2K cleared before breakfast on a Tuesday that shouldn't have worked, fifth sister site this month. Numbers don't care if the week feels thin.
That "considerate" framing though — MichelleAdler's right, that's the actual mechanism. Makes compliance feel like care when it's just profiling. I've got my own monthly velocity tracked now, see exactly where I'd trip their wire. Most months I'm under, some I'm not, but I know *before* they do.
Your "watching it crawl forward" — you tracking where you'd actually land, or just feeling the shape of it?
