Our event object remembers if the user is Going, but it doesn’t always load the pre-determined content for attendees. [For context, we hide the player behind their Going status, but the platform frequently requires them to un-RSVP and re-RSVP for the content to be revealed](https://meta.discourse.org/t/discourse-livestream/341335/27). It seems like if they RSVP’d recently, it remembers (same day?), but I always add “if you don’t see the player, un-rsvp” in the preview body just in case.

Is there anything we can do to force the system to check their status as the page loads?
