Interest in Fantasy Baseball Down 80%

The number of new posts to You Throw Like A Girl has dropped significantly in the 2010 fantasy baseball season. New posts from February to May have totaled just 22 so far in 2010 compared to 110 new posts at the same point in the 2009 season.



I'll let this graph speak for itself. With the exception of Luke and Taylor, everyone is posting less frequently.

I think it is a mix of everything. Trade evaluations now happen on the league message board. I'm no longer doing the weekly updates because I decided I didn't want to commit to doing daily stats again this summer. Plus, I don't do any general baseball writing on the blog any longer because I'm too busy pimping my own, new baseball blog which will soon become an invincible juggernaut of baseball knowledge for all the world to marvel at. You know, once I get up over 15 unique viewers.

Looks like I'm leading both years, so I'm guilt free.

In all seriousness, it's the league board. I'm still just as invested at any rate, but the league board is more conveniently located...

Are you really guilt free, Spencer? But yeah, the combo of the league board being there and Bill's baseball blog for doing interesting things that aren't necessarily fantasy related has killed posts. Can YTLAG adjust, or will it become obsolete?

Spencer said...

It's a clash of new media and old media!

I'm not sure I'm buying the ESPN board theory... Didn't Yahoo have a league message board that operates essentially the same way?
