Is this hobby dying in the US?

[frizzen]

I believe this hobby has become more fractured since this thread was started. This really helps boost attendance at events!
"Hey man, we didn't see you at this last meet, you ok?"
- - What? When was that one? Where was it?
"Oh, thought you knew..."

I get that a lot of people have moved to stuff like Facebook, since they can also go look at pics of their grandkids while over there.

Reddit, so you can see 1 post of interest for every 100 noobs asking why their rtr broke parts when they Yeeted it off a roof.

Instagram, why would i want to look at all of your particular build at once, when i can see every picture you've ever taken

Youtube, because it's great to have an incomplete series of hour long build videos. Plus you can ignore comments, and never have to say what donor parts were.

I dunno, i think this format works better to document builds.
But i just try to stay on the Cheap end of things. Plus it helps show that you don't need to drop $1,000-5,000 on a some type of toy truck just to go play with these guys.
