Wknd Observations - Videos not working ANY format; Disappearing Club member during CVC...

I made a few interesting observations this weekend, and I wonder if GLU is aware and/or will announce them as such.
1. Videos are simply not working for a HUGE number of people, in the most important areas of the game:
- CVC Video replays with 2 outs.....no videos will come up for me, any of my club mates, or any of my friends.
- Videos are RARELY working for the typical "free 6th game during a win streak"
- I watched ELEVEN Videos back to back, I was reward 12 gold (thought it was double gold but clearly I was wrong). Waited 15 minutes, restarted and cleared cache....still no credit for the 11 videos watched.
- Videos are EXTREMELY "hit or miss" on the CVC free bonus multipliers BEFORE starting a CVC ticket....Working about half the time or less
- Funny, because Videos are working PERFECTLY FINE for video achievements, and I mean perfect......but somehow, for all of the "need to pay for gold sequences", the videos simply will not pop up for us. Strange coincidence, or an I.T. issue. Either way, an announcement would be nice for us please.....
2. Teams are learning to "HIDE" their CVC wins as follows. They take their BEST player....and/or their likely "CVC Edge" subscriber.... He/She LEAVES THE CLUB with 5-10 minutes remaining.....The score for that player disappears, but the points still count for your opponent....Then, that player re-joins the club after the hidden-point-victory. GLU replied that they do this an effort to prevent clubs from team-hopping, in order to prevent them from scoring double or triple CVC rewards.....But what these cheaters are doing is wrong, and opponents take on a false sense of security, because the "adjusted" score from the opposing player's recent departure suggests that your team is comfortably ahead..... Yet another weasel move, and cheaters always find a way to make an honest, integrity-based game miserable with their innovative cheating tactics.
*** I propose that if you leave your club, you wait 72 hours IF you want to re-join the same club***
CVC and moving up to Platinum. Funny how my SAME players at Gold 10 could hit the LACES off the ball against the default 41 and 55-rated Cincinatti Reds pitchers...but once they moved to platinum, the SAME players at level platinum 2 and platinum 3 score ZERO now in 48% of CVC games.....with BOTH non-cvc-edge modifiers (100 gold total) at +30% hit and + 500% scoring.....3 to 4 out of 7 games on average are scoring ZERO to 800. Previously, the same players, versus the same LOW-LEVEL pitchers on average would score 70,000 to 300,000 per game.... Again, SAME pitchers.... I could understand and accept it, if the move to platinum caused a pitching change, and my platinum players were now facing a "better pitcher.....but this is silly, to score ZERO with both modifiers when players have IMPROVED from 179 to 217, against the SAME pitchers????
Happy Memorial day weekend......I know this sounds like a negative nelly post......It is simply 3 observations I made over the last week, and wanted to share and perhaps seek some thoughts from others.
My very best as always,

Part of my reasoning is that you can see my profile, so you know what I’ve done in cvc in the past. The other part is that I don’t want to spend 35K in cash for 7 entries. I’d much rather spend 10 or less if I can get the same results, which seems to be the case
As for the rest of it, I see your point, but whaddya gonna do? There isn't any ethics here. If it's physically possible without any hack, it's allowed and permissible.
