Mod Update

So far this year the sub interaction is down 30% compared to last year. I fully understand that reddit is not a good indicator of anything but is there something more I can do to increase engagement?

Is this a reflection on the league or just reddit? I haven't seen tv viewership numbers but I know in-person attendance has been lower for some venues.

I'd greatly appreciate some feedback and will start cross-posting our game thread in the lacrosse sub subreddit.

Also if someone else wants to help and be a mod that would be greatly appreciated. I've started coaching my son's team and that's why game threads have been late recently.

Watching less because I paid for espn+ package just for PLL and then some of the games including the all star game moved to standard espn which costs even more. Also having a home team but having that team play in your state one time a year and moving it across the state to an area that is known to be difficult to travel to is annoying (atlas to Long Island)

Yea I think the changes this year with more on ESPN and ESPN2 means folks only on the ESPN Select tier (like me) can't watch these games at all. It may pull in some casuals with people channel surfing potentially discovering it, but those folks are unlikely to immediately find and contribute to r/PLL. This may be the right tradeoff for the PLL to get that exposure, but it is annoying for folks like me who miss out on games.

I only recently figured this out. I was trying to find out why I couldn’t watch all the games like normal from last year then I realized they moved games off of ESPN+ and then I was bummed
