So what is the best measurement? BTW by my counts BD social media has less BD fans than a neutral account like Drum Corps Coffee Shop, whose 15M views I saw were not the result of social engagement but pure and unadulterated fandom.

It seems to me to be a form of overt exaggeration. 🙂 Your being nice, i am calling the spades as i have been observing them... LOL... They will soon say i am being snarky. There are some real heartfelt criticism that make sense, but there are some BS ones that come from another place that don't make any sense. Seen all of them and i can pick them out based on how and what is being ranting on about. In general they point out things in BD they don't like, while skipping over, or making excuses for other corps for the same things. If they going to call things out, then call out all the corps whose guilty of it. Call out DCI for not rewarding what you like and not pick on BD, at least BD will change direction as soon DCI decides to reward something else.

Sorry I got mixed up. BD should not have won 2017 and 2019. Crown and Bloo had better shows 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IDk Well I'm pretty sober about it because I've seen fandoms like Harry Potter and Batman get blown way out of proportion. It's lonely at the top. :) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crown was better in 09 and 17, Bloo was better in 19, both Boston and Bloo were better last year. I don't dispute 10 and 14 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
