I disagree with the notion that DC is milking our sport. Just my opinion but I refuse to be jaded and honestly think he wants what's best for our sport. He's a motocross lifer like very few can claim to be. It's obvious he still lives this sport. Not to mention what other promoter is as open with fellow fans as he is? We are fortunate he posts here and that is a sign that he is one of us. This too shall pass.
Here’s the RacerX press release from the MavTV plus announcement. No mention of a commercial-free broadcast. If someone led you to believe otherwise, it wasn’t Mav or RacerX.
The Shop
It was advertised like the MAVTV+ package was possibly going to get PIP for commercials, but it now sounds like the PIP was intended for the regular MAVTV broadcast while MAVTV+ is intended to be commercial free.
It's a mess, but I think it'll all be sorted out for round 2.
The red flag for mavtv that bugged me from the get go is i was going to have to hook my laptop up to my 6 month old smart tv just to watch the race. That's asinine in this day and age.
Also, if you look back, there are probably 100 threads about how terrible Peacock was and week after week we had to read through that garbage. Again, yesterday was NOT OK, but give them a chance to fix it and stop blaming some conspiracy BS by the guy that has devoted his life to moto, and his whole family has done the same. Do they make money, hell yes and they should. None of us work for free, but you guys are acting like he is embezzling money from your personal bank account with this garbage. Assume the best in him and everyone trying to bring you the best for the sport.
Oh, and JT$ killed it and will be an excellent addition. We need people like him who speak well snd have the knowledge. That’s progress and how you keep moving ahead.
I watched the replay this morning. Much better. It seems they kicked out many of the commercials and the few in the replay were much shorter plus I could FF 30 secs and be back on racing.
We will see about next week. I went month to month so if they don't fix it I am not out much.
Pit Row
How did they not realise that there would be massive and fully fking deserved backlash over this...it's a real head scratcher that's for sure.
Stinks of greed because they are surely not this incompetent and I hope all of you cancel your subs and not go back...you all got jipped
I've read the first couple of pages will read the rest later....has DC responded?
Edit: To the people saying they'd "pay more" for commercial free. Don't be fking simps...it's already expensive enough and shouldn't have ads in the first place.
Edit 2: Just read the commercials were from technical difficulties so there's hope. Doesn't excuse the other story pieces and track map updates in the middle of racing.
Streaming trouble is excusable on a first broadcast, shit happens. What isn't excusable is a track preview 10 minutes into the race, features during the race, missing action (McAdoo's crash), excessive commercials and not having enough spotters to know that Kenny is still in 2nd when the transponder takes a shit.
Everyone deserves a Mulligan, this is yours. Next week should see a vast improvement.
Side note: The mea culpa on Insta was a good start but since DC is called out specifically in this thread and we know he reads it should be addressed here. Screwing up is acceptable, ignoring it isn't.
