Oh definitely, thats why I prefaced what I said with stating that I know next to nothing about the current judging system. Tricks \> clicks all the way for me! Not trying to take anything away from anyone else because looking at the scores they were all pretty close, but I am a little bummed that the performances that really blew me away (and the crowd from what I could tell) didnt do as well with scoring as I thought. ---

I feel as though charging for a stream as opposed to putting it on youtube (and generating ad revenue) also limits the viewership from people who are new to yoyoing or are interested in starting. If this were on a platform like youtube, it would show up under “recommended” for some people or even under the “trending section” which would help promote and grow the hobby. Many will likely disagree with my opinion on this (and you are entitled to do so), but in my mind a charge makes certain aspects of the community appear more closed off and focuses heavily on short term gains rather than long term exposure/growth. ---

You would get quickly removed for having copyrighted songs being played nearly every other freestyle ---

@Astralis Technically speaking they aren’t supposed to be using those songs without paying for the rights to them anyway. ---

That’s true. They definitely could expand thw hobby by doing that. I would love to watch them…but I’m not going to pay 5$ to watch a stream hehe ---

US nats had a free stream, although it was Vimeo. If I paid for this one, I’d feel obligated to watch as much as i can, but I’m choosing to watch the YT vids if the performance later. I’d love to see it in real time, but I’ve been busy this week and can’t justify paying for the stream. It should be a free stream. One of the many sponsors should cover it imho. ---

Gentry might’ve just won it :open_mouth: That was clean. I just tuned in tho. I guess it was just good timing cuz Gentry literally just started his freestyle :joy: ---

I’m so excited about this, but I got a concert to go to and can’t focus on yoyo atm. Gentry was on fire at nats! I’m really looking forward to Evan’s performance, as I think it should be sick. ---
