I think this trick shot video, contest is fun at first, but after a while it is boring to me (sorry to the ones that doesn't think so)
I know many people didn't bother to take part - as that time can be better used to "really promoted" table tennis in the local area - than oppose to help ITTF get youtube money. I fit into this category.
Last year, a lot of spam was done to get people to view, like etc. Seriously speaking - if the video is indeed cool and it got viral (which many participants video did), it should have millions of hits. But it did not, this shows that the trickshot is still very small - especially inside ITTF's existing database.
Take that Chuan and Saive exihbition (non ITTF event) from Taiwan - that went viral.
So will this trickshot promote table tennis?
imo, only a little. At first there is that "wow" factor, but after a way, things will get back to normal and table tennis is still nothing.
I feel even my 4 table photo - got more hits than most videos from last year. But what does that mean for the sport? nothing.
