Do any professionals post on here?

[d3nium]

TTD is probably the most active TT forum in Europe I guess? I wonder if any professionals or really high level players post regularly on here? I bet some are definitely lurkers.

Perhaps some are lurkers, but, like Tony, I doubt that a pro is actively posting here (although Drinkhall did post once or twice here years ago if my memory serves right, but that was like 10 years ago). Pros very likely don't have anything to gain from participating on a tt forum. Many have Insta, but that's an entirely different platform.
Just look at the german tt forum. Boll, Schlager and Dima were posting there, but after some backlash, annoying questions and accusations they stopped posting a long time ago; possibly rightfully so. It would happen here too, I fear. Pros are too busy anyway and smart enough (at least I hope so) to not get involved with tt forums too much and steer clear from them.

SORE QUESTION.
Surely, none of pros was ever present here, for they afraid of the question of booster. Nobody wants to confess in public one's being a persistent masturbator.🍌

This is my view
1) they don't have time to be on forums, they hardly even have times for "me time"
2) there is no purpose to be on forums for them, the disadvantage outweighs advantage 10 or 20 folds, maybe even more.
3) some times they are not even using the social media profile and hire "content editors". so it isn't even TT forums they stay away from, it is really the entire social media.

you are right about pros getting taught (chased away) by couch potatoes on TT forums. It happened in TTD too.
why should an expert come onto TT forum and get into some debate to convince someone who just likes typing on a keyboard full time? There is more productivity for the Pro to spend that 30 mins or 1 hour and give a talk somewhere, where people appreciate the input and won't get into a debate.
That is a different between face to face and keyboard.

and remember folks; TTD does not pay income, being popular on YT does...
