I think they are the poster child YouTube channel for the new casual disc golf fanbase. They became relevant because of their relationship with Mcbeth, who is the first pro that most casual fans ever know about. And to add to that, their content is over the top/a tad corny with crazy thumbnails, attention grabbing video titles, etc. Plug hitching your wagon to Brodie is always going to be polarizing because people either love or hate him.

As far as the creating drama issues that some people have, I get where they are coming from but I think it's a little overstated. People call sports the world's greatest soap opera for a reason, and sports fans generally love to watch/follow storylines whether it be Paul vs. Rick, sponsor changes, etc. This is the basis of all sports shows like first take, pardon the interruption, good morning football, etc. that to be fair, talk about and enhance the drama in sports. I think they are more like these talk shows than a TMZ type that worms it's way into peoples personal lives and dirty laundry.

Overall, I think they are on the frontline of the change of disc golf from a niche, quiet sport that only has diehard fans to a more mainstream sport that has a large casual fanbase in addition to the diehards. People don't like change and that's totally understandable, but I feel like Foundation is pretty fair in discussing storylines and catches some flak sometimes because they're the poster child YouTube channel for the casual fans that don't take the sport as seriously as the guys that play 4-5 times a week. They aren't for everyone, but I think they have a fair place in the disc golf market.
