I signed up for the Sony list a while ago. Hopefully they pick me soon.
They say the selection is based partly on PS activities. I've been logging in and playing games on PS+ almost every day and have been subscribed to PSNow for 2 years. Not sure what else I can do.
You'll start getting the invites, just be patient. It took about a month after signing up before I received my first invite, but then suddenly I was getting them weekly. And I didn't have to do anything extra, like play online (although I suppose that couldn't hurt).
If you guys scroll back a couple of pages in the thread there is mentioned one particular guy on Twitter, Matt something I believe, who's literally becoming famous because of how well his notifications work and help people get a PS5. I don't do twitter either, but you can still just check his twitter feed online every morning without a twitter account. He'll give you a pretty big heads up, as in hours advance notice, when there's going to be drops. Then when they're scheduled to actually happen he goes live and talks you through it as they're released. It really does help to follow him and take his advice.
