    I guess they see the need to produce more content to keep the wheels going.
    I'm 50/50 about Dirtfish but definitely they are a good thing to rallying in general.

    To me it feels 90% of their views has come from WRC related content and now they try to push other disciplines along WRC news to get more exposure for them.

    Scrolling quickly through their twitter handle, it seems WRC news get 60-120 likes although WRC seasons is on a break, while currently active Dakar news get 50 at most. World RX and ARA news get only like 10-20 likes, Extreme E something from 10 to 50.

    120 likes is really low... Which is quite concerning

    It's another problem, but these numbers are relative. Official WRC twitter handle gets 100-600 likes on their tweets.

    Twitter is just one way to follow WRC news and possibly a niche one, but it's the only indication we get from the popularity of the articles. It could also be that WRC users are more active on twitter than ARA and Nitro Rallycross fans?

    EDIT: On facebook the numbers are not as consistent. One Dakar article had 400 while most have 100. But fb ads could distort that result.

    EDIT2: This is another mixed-discipline article https://dirtfish.com/rally/wrc/my-se...o-iconic-eras/ Or actually the whole series, where the journalists are picking their highlights from all Dirtfish-covered sports.

    Twitter is surely where most people get (links to) the latest WRC news and features. Who goes to all of the rally websites every day to see if there is news or an article they're interested in on there ?

    Like I said, facebook has much more likes on the links.

    That's where the beauty of the forums is. Good stuff ends up here.
    Never stop dreaming because one day it might happen.

    This is the genuine place where even insiders speak out. Wouldn´t ever never dream of leaving this golden place.
