How is it possible that we know of only ONE person who saw the leaked episode?

Honestly, I don't get why disney cares so much about it being up, they already made us wait through 4 long hiatus' so far and for only 31 episodes to be aired in 3 years of the show's run. That's a bit too stingy about ratings if you ask me. Their profits shouldn't be at the expense of the the people who really care about the show, so a leak like this is kind of expected when they hold on to episodes and don't air them for a long time. Since production wrapped up a while ago, this hiatus was pretty much pointless and is truly unfair to people who pay their respects to the show and literally make the ratings happen by watching the show. I want to be respectfull, so all I will say is that disney should have known a leak like this would happen if they held on to the episodes this long. I know disney does this with their shows and production is well in advance, I've rarely ever heard of a show this good having this little episodes in this long a span of time. After my other favorite shows ended, I really rely on this show for entertainment, and this Hiatus, directly after the winter hiatus, literally took me off guard and has even made me a bit depressed. Instead of deleting all the evidence of the leak, disney should own up to their mistake and air the episode earlier, but no, it just has to be july 13th, like they couldn't just make it july 6th. But, of course, that will never happen because all disney cares about is the target audience of kids that probably have forgotten the show exists by now. I spent over 4 hours yesterday on 4chan listening to liars saying they had the episode and would upload it, only for everyone to get rick rolled. This is just a mess, and it's a pity for stuff like this to happen to such a great show. Taking no ownership and trying to delete problems like this as if they never happened is complete denial of what has really happened. And based on what I've heard, yes the leak was real but the picture on tumblr was from episode 14, "dungeons, dragons, and more dungeons". That is why the shack was in good shape in the photo. Episode 12 has already been confirmed to be a flashback, "a tale of two stans", and episode 13 will be the aftermath of NWHS, more than likely. That is why this must be episode 14 of season 2. I'm not sure if other episodes were leaked like, "a tale of two stans" but I sincerely hope at least someone uploads one of them so we have something to enjoy. After all, it's just one episode, and everyone will still watch it when it comes out on XD anyway, as that's where we see the promos for new episodes. But if not, oh well, at least it's just one more month to wait. But all in all, I know some people won't agree with me here, but I think disney should just take the hit and let the leak happen, as it happens all the time with other shows, and disney isn't any more special than other networks. One episode won't kill their profits, It'll actually increase the hype and more people will watch when the episode actually comes out. But I know they won't listen, I thought I'd just give my perspective on this thing. Right now, as a average person, all I see is entitlement about getting to decide when the episode airs. And remember this post, wasn't just a rant or a clear up on what episode got leaked, it was about accepting responsibility.
