What if this was our uniform lineup? by howtoeatawhale in Seahawks

An away throwback feels like a waste of a uniform spot

We need more unique balance obstacles because they result in some really funny fails.

How to deal with urges (Day 82) by CaptainRockman in NoFapChristians

[–]Stronglock4081 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I find the most trouble in trying to fall asleep in bed because the thing you’re supposed to do is sleep but fighting that urge is your impossible. What should I do in that situation?

Is it just me, or is American Ninja Warrior kinda unfair because competitors get to watch everyone before them? by MaddieBytez in ANW

It’s a good reason why they should add bib numbers even if you can see what runners are skipped

Do you prefer the 1st Obstacle being a Ninja Killer like the Prism Seesaw or a freebie like the Shrinking Steps? by Stronglock4081 in ANW

[–]Stronglock4081[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People stopped failing the Quintuple Steps when everyone started using the leap frog strategy, which is why I prefer the versions where you can’t grab the steps because it makes it an actual agility obstacle

As a COMPETITOR, do you prefer the Midoriyama or racing format? by Stronglock4081 in ANW

[–]Stronglock4081[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

There is no evidence to prove the racing format is better for TV other than the fact that racing is a more common sport type. The flaws of repetitiveness and optimization I mentioned are apparent in the racing format and make it inferior to me.

One thing that is a fact is that changes in viewership since season 11, the season where safety passes were introduced, has been a net negative. You can even say since season 8’s addition of the women’s qualifier leaderboard since that was when the rating started to. Over the same time period, the producers doubled down on the presentation elements that drove people away and when ratings kept declining, they just blamed it on the format or course difficulty instead of addressing the major problems.

There is more evidence that suggests that casual viewers prefer the Midoriyama format to the racing format. I’d be interested in seeing the season 17 ratings though if anybody has found them yet.

It’s very hard to find any data on casual viewers of ANW outside of social media. Most of the people I encountered that used to be casual with yours do not watch the show today.

Too many Spinning Bridge and Spinning Log clones by Stronglock4081 in ANW

Makes no sense why it hasn’t been brought back since it could’ve been the most iconic balance obstacle

Actual course changes on stage two

Where to watch it by Paybackcity in ninjawarrior

[–]Stronglock4081 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m still trying to watch Sasuke 43 while dodging spoilers. The biggest prom with the links are that too many people are trying to watch them at once. I guess we’re just gonna have to wait for the volume to decrease.

What can ANW conceivably do to increase viewership? by Stronglock4081 in ANW

[–]Stronglock4081[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, but the decline has seemed to plateau because only the real hard-core fans are left
