Commercial performance concerns

I’m worried the commercial performance section doesn’t meet GA criteria 1a. It’s a bit confusing to get through, and a lot of it sounds like it was written by someone whose English is their second language. Speatle (talk to me)(read all about it) please ping me when replying to something I said. 21:52, 30 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Speatle: I actually added content post-GA review. And certainly, English is not my first language. Perhaps, you can fix/reword by yourself. --Apoxyomenus (talk) 21:57, 30 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
