Why does it matter if it’s RTK or Russell Traylor? If what you said as either was bunk, it would still be bunk.

Fact is, it’s a red herring. You can’t refute what I say, you can’t give reasonable explanation or excuse as to why something is the not the way I may say, so instead of conceding I am correct, you look for something else that you think will distract others away from the original statement or comment you, or others that use the same red herring, have no answer for.

Did that offend you SAKS? Does the truth hurt your feelings? Perhaps you can dispel or refute what I have written in a compelling and factual way instead of whining about how something truthful about MLF is insulting to you?

Did you notice there wasn’t any of those MLF supporters refuting what’s said above? At least with a live audience that can be visually measured by paying sponsors. BASS isn’t going to be able to go out and promise they can bring a sponsor thousands of eyeballs towards their brands when they really only have a few showing up like MLF does. That’s why MLF is focused on the digital more than anything, they can manipulate to high hell the true numbers of eyeballs. To be fair to MLF, they are not the only ones who do that kind of thing... it’s widespread and a huge business for the click farms are utilized by shyster marketing people around the world. The sponsors and advertisers are the ones who get screwed because the ones they have signing off on advertising spends are clueless corporatist drones, and their bosses are even more clueless.

No one responds to you on this because it's ridiculous and they are embarrassed for you when you post it. My favorite thing in all of this is how you've single handedly flipped people on here from MLF haters to MLF fans. It's simply been incredible to watch and the MLF team should send you a Christmas card this year. As your post count continues to skyrocket, so does the MLF viewership and metrics.

In the interim, let me be the first to send a sincere thank you for all you've done. Keep it up.

Are you seriously disputing that there has been and continues to be massive amounts of fraud perpetrated against advertisers in the digital/online realm? Really? Click farms didn’t become a billion dollar industry by providing legitimate tech services. I didn’t think you were that far removed from reality.

It’s your industries worst kept secret... well, except the secret is still good for the clueless executives signing off on sponsorships and the ad spends, they still believe the manipulated data their being spoon fed.

What I'm seriously disputing is the validity of anything you've posted since you showed up on the scene. But I'm seriously thanking you for your efforts here. I'm not joking when I tell you that in just two short months, you've turned hardened MLF detractors that I've battled with for over a year. Well done sir, well done...

Unfortunately (seriously) - you are getting more info/insight from Big O because he is anonymous. Don't worry about the messenger and pay attention to the message or just continue to believe what paid employees and contractors tell you.

Actually everything you post has been refuted. And by people who will post who they are.

How are you all explaining the huge drop in numbers to the brands you deal with now that a huge portion of the click farm industry is currently out of commission due to the mass quarantines going on in that region?
Those MLF live numbers must have taken a significant hit, eh?

Does MLF have to issue refunds to sponsors when they don’t meet the lofty metrics they are selling and pricing the space on?

I agree with Fouz, and I’ll add this:

The entire tournament is exciting. You know exactly what everyone has. Guys are battling for the cut line, or first place, or to get out of a knockout round. If Wheeler didn’t catch 100 lbs in 30 minutes yesterday, it probably would’ve been much closer at the end, with guys looking for one more fish with under a minute left. That’s exciting to me. It happened in the knockout round. One guy, forget his name at the moment, needed one fish to move up to 8th and advance. He caught a 1.14 with under two minutes left and didn’t advance. That’s exciting to me.

And watching MLF proves to me that the anglers and announcers and even me have no idea exactly what a fish weighs until it’s on the scale. BASS is giving you estimates until weigh in, so no one knows how much anyone has until the end of the day. I don’t like that as much.

I prefer the MLF style, as of now. I’ll watch BASS occasionally. There is room for both styles and people will like both or prefer one over the other.

I don’t think it much matters to a lot of guys whether they get towed across a stage or not. It wouldn’t matter to me, but it isn’t like it was a surprise that there would be no weigh in with a stage and fans. MLF has been around a long time. If guys come to miss it and switch back, that’s ok. If MLF adds some sort of weigh in, that’s ok too.

There is room for both.
