How is this preventing anybody from addressing that?
Of course,
speaking of Australia.
Ah yes, the good old baseless "millennials are lazy" routine! I really should look into that, but it's hard to find the time when this "lazy millennial" is working 50+ hours a week.
Honestly, I haven't really figured out what your issue is other than the fact you don't like it so apparently nobody should.
I don't get why people want to watch a lot of things, that doesn't mean I think they should be removed from existence.
MATE!!!
You are creating things I have not even typed out which I would call an assumption.
Where did I say millennials are lazy??? People, here in Australia don't want to go out and work on the land, it's fact. Google is your friend for that one. I said nothing about millennials. BTW you are only 1 month younger than me. Can I assume that you were assuming that I am 60 or something in that case?
Where did I say nobody should like e-sports or e-farming? Sure I have expressed I don't like the huge prize pool for this particular one and that the industry boomed out of no where, but I have not told anyone they don't have to like it.
Where did I say I think certain TV should be removed from existence? Me not believing there are enough people to watch certain programming is not the same thing as believing it should be removed from existence.
I made my opinions and you are replying to them with yours which is fine, but don't make crap up that I did not say.
To top it off, you did it on Post 7 to bloodyboyblue as well so it's not just me you have done it to.
There are hundreds if not thousands of farming competitions across the globe. Also, in the US (not sure about other countries) we have state and county fairs that pretty much all have farming competitions that revolve around livestock and produce. Hell, even tractor pulls could probably fit into the definition of farming competitions, same goes for rodeos too.
I know there are farm shows with competitions and the like, we have them here as well, stock, produce, shearing, hearding etc. But I still have not heard of a prize pool like that for the real deal.
A quick google search confirms it for me, Australian google search limits overseas content a bit so my results may be skewed.
I can see Plenty of E-Sports farming competitions with over $100000 in prizes.
But I can't really find much that is more than $10000 for real life. Most prizes are just put your name on an award and give out a medal or certificate. The only other prize being recognition and the marketing advantage against competitors that's comes with it by slapping best in show on your produce.
The major exception I have found seems to be tractor pull events which I can't really associate with farming. Sure there is a tractor but to me that is more a form of motorsport than it is farming.
