One day purchase (or two day for a two-day competition). That's my personal preference. However, if I was a part of the aforementioned parents who couldn't see my child compete as frequently I could see myself choosing a subscription. I personally would be willing to pay for a reasonable priced subscription for high quality videos live and on demand, if that makes sense.
) in the past, but I would for a reasonable price and decent videos.
I've never purchased a subscription (except last season's cheerlive debacle
Ahh very true! It's the same on my YouTube channel. Well I don't know too much on the business side of a live stream, but I would buy a one time purchase for a competition, as I have many times in the past- but I would pay the extra money for a better quality. I don't know if that's possible or not- like charge a "premium" price for an HD feed and a cheaper price for a "regular" feed. Would that be feasible from the business side?
Sucks for the first group of people- wouldn't deter me though. Even a happy freaking medium would suffice! I swear there has to be a better way than the other company I mentioned.
I actually really love good live streams. I've purchased them for all major events that I couldn't be present for since my former CP wasn't in any of the age/skill divisions that would attend those comps. I prefer the ability to have immediate access. HD videos can be edited (doesn't happen as often, but can), sometimes people don't get both days at 2 day comps, some teams people actually do care about aren't taped (this I see most often), especially lower level teams or teams not from a powerhouse gym, I'm impatient and don't really wanna wait and see if someone uploads something only to find out they didn't, sometimes videos get taken down from YouTube whereas some of the live streams you can go back and watch VOD over and over, and many time the "HD" quality isn't really so HD on my computer or phone (or maybe that's bc I'm partially blind). And this is coming from someone whose channel gets a ton of hits and compliments bc of the HD videos my hubby would take when my CP used to compete.
Then there's always that ONE person who was like, "Did you get so and so????!!!" and so on.
Just re-watched it, I never noticed that, this makes so much more sense!
And my kids compete against CEA - I just like cheer and when I see something good I don't care who it is - big gym or little gym. I'll say it. I have no favorite gym - okay most days it is the one my kids go to (I love my cheer family) but somedays (just a few) even that is up for grabs
