Forgive me for answering your question, with a question, but which of these two would it make more sense for a police force to raid: someone who everyone thinks did the crime, or someone no one thinks did the crime? There you have your answer.
AKA learning anything about a sus player is useful, the only useful thing you can learn about a townread player is that they're guilty. And the likelihood of that is obviously low. It's just never ever a good idea for a cop to check their townreads.
You bring up a valid point only in that vig could not understand the massive disadvantages to following their own reads that night phase.
Here are the fundamental reasons that vig shouldn't follow their own reads: mafia/cult can more easily figure out who they are by their reads, and eliminate the threat.
It's egotistical to assume that you as an individual have better reads than town as a collective.
Here are the contextual reasons that vig shouldn't follow their own reads that night:
Leaving both toad and tae alive stifled discussion for the day.
A shot at night is a point blank thing, you don't gain any tells or leave someone a chance to claim/don't give their team mates a chance to defend them in the instance that they're cult.
It just gives us so much less information to work with.
Now, you can argue that vig was just oblivious to this entire list of reasons, and that's a fair argument I'd overlooked.
But it stands to reason that vigilante, if it is in fact vigilante not serial killer, should have shot toad last night. Given the information, that was the best play.
I'm even going to go as far as to say that the Iwas kill hasn't helped us all that much - definitely not half enough to justify shooting in such a outlier manner, anyway. A town hit there would've straight up lost us the game.
Of course, this is just my opinion, I could easily be wrong.
