It’s not been great for it. Could be worse, social media has ruined hunting 100x times worse than fishing.

Could it just be that we have more people but not a bunch of new lakes?

I would say that social media, the "grow the sport initiative" and covid is to blame for a lot of the issues we are dealing with today outside of FFS. Not everyone can afford ffs or a boat but they can buy rods, reels and kayaks.

The internet has done more to damage lakes than ffs will ever do. Youtubers, clowns that post every big fish they catch on a lake, and I'll never understand why local clubs make their weights from jackpots public knowledge. Then you have the fish apps with waypoints. Add guides posting nonsense to try and drum up business to the list. Everything and might I add the clowns carrying around the fish all day to get that ramp shot!

Some social media characters that have never fished a tournament before do that stuff. I don't think carrying fish around if I'm not in a tournament is for me but then again if we are truly being honest those guys have every right to do it. Just because we do it in a tournament doesn't suddenly make us any better than anyone else or makes it OK for us but not for others. Maybe one day people will stop making tournaments sound like the boogeyman. Maybe I'm fishing the wrong trails but I don't see all the craziness reported on here and social media happen. Apparently it happens often to the same people though.

It’s bad when sponsors could care less about your resume or public appearances. But are more interested in what platforms you’re on and how many followers you have.

Yep, other than that’s how he makes his money, I’d like to be educated on the benefits of social media. Even some of the pros are crying about these kids getting too much info and having it easier than they did.
