It's not like she wouldn't have still been #1 without those discounted copies and her second week drop would still be big.
300-400k of your 7 million sales being one-day discounted buys that were fully purchased is no where near as tragic as literally having a certification accolade that is actually hard to get nowadays bought for you.
She and her team were literally afraid of going platinum.
No one truly cares though and why are you fuming about it?
I'm just cackling at the irony that Kiss It Better would've been the PERFECT lead single. It's fresh, it's the perfect tempo and it's very memorable. The fact that they forced the label puppet to release the trash that is Work purely because of the Drake feature is embarassing.
Granted that it will probably still be successful (as it deserves to be), it's a shame that it wasn't the lead single that would actually award her that certificate.
These shenanigans will never damage Rihanna nor RIAA, you girls are too involved in this, keep your feet on earth and be aware that these 'frauds'(that are actually great marketing plans for all parties involved) won't make a dent to RiAAna's career and the gp does not care

Very true, she's not important enough for anyone to actually care.
