Problem no more than running out of thinks to promote. Wait to the next product releases we will be inundated.
I'm sure they must have someone in place to fill Hamidi roll. I'm sure a company like Korda are pretty Media savvy. Probably don't want to over saturate the media platforms. Keep'em guessing. Keep'em wanting more.

Ah! The old "circle of life". Growth, death, decay and rebirth in water that is wet and cold/warm. Don't need to worry about all that unless it floats your boat. That was all in the O-level biology/physics syllabi in 1970. Still is I should think

Perhaps after reinventing the wheel several times already the loss of hoardes of temporary COVID carpers has left korda rather short of viewers willing and able to swallow lashings of regurgitate spew and bile so are instead all sat about wondering what the **** they going to do without Ali who obviously played a far more important role than was accepted in the success of major areas of the company.

More Gooo?

I first studied the environmental sciences in the early 1970,s and later went on to become an environmental sciences teacher.
We actually thought we were beginning to get somewhere carrying on from the rising scientific and social awareness in 50,s and 60,s. DDT, lead, CFC, s, Strontium, overfishing, intensive monoculture, deforestation, global warming, CO2 emissions. Etc, etc, none of it is new.
Unfortunately along came Thatcher and Reagan and their deregulated free market economy/greed is good message.
Within 10 years no more environmental sciences in school, trillions spent on propaganda, misinformation, political lobbying and manipulation of the global economy.
There are a lot of people who are not going to be impressed with the throwaway use of a few basic scientific terms.
Get stuck in and put your arguments forward and convince people.

Viewing does not equal buying. Or being brainwashed. I watch a lot of vids and sometimes get to the end. Often it depends on whether the style of fishing is relevant to mine.( rarely) or if I like the presenter and or the style of presentation. How many vids show people turning up to a packed lake and having to take the available swim and fish their entire session from there because there is nowhere else to move to. Yes I could stay awake all night and ask every person on the lake when they are leaving. However I have to live and work in the real world. Not the world of full time carpers Like 99% of us, I have to use what I can get and it's rarely first choice. All this talk of walking the lake for 4 hours until I found the fish. Then moving again at midnight because they were obviously crashing at the other end of the lake is B.S for most of us. You just can't do it on many lakes nowadays. Like most people I don't have the disposable income to buy an expensive syndicate ticket. With the price of good quality bait looking like it's going to double in the near future I think a huge day of reckoning is coming the way of carp fishing as a whole Rant over.

Excessive walking the water is the latest thing I've seen in videos recently. Walking round the water none stop for 8 hours and not setting up untill 12.30am as they were looking for fish. Sod off
"ive done 400 thousand steps today"

Also could you imagine taking the advice of some of these anglers in videos "I don't even get the gear out of the car until I've circumnavigated the lake 200 times climbing trees looking for fish".
If most of us left their gear in the car and returned hours later after locating said carp, we'd be returning to a broken into car and all our fishing gear gone. And even if we took our gear with us and left it at a particular swim, by the time we've returned the gear would be gone.😂

Personally I really enjoy most of the Korda video's. Peck and Fairbrass are my favourite pair to watch. Great fishing and a touch of banter. I just wish Mr Fairbrass would stop the "Yesssss, come on" after every single fish. You can't knock his enthusiasm though, he's grown on me.

I would advise anyone who just enjoys the 'being there' not to go down this route.
When you find yourself taking d.o. readings when arriving at the lake your angling
enjoyment is on a slippery slope.
Sometimes ignorance is bliss.

Probably the best angler I've ever fished alongside was a one night a week (Friday) angler,
he would walk for hours looking for fish before setting up if need be.
He also had an unbelievable knack of setting up right on fish and not scaring them from
the area.
Different people want to take different things from their angling, some chill, some
work hard to make their time on the bank as productive as possible, most somewhere in between the two.

Completely agree. Total saturation, the only stuff that really floats my boat is the TH videos. I wish I had his seemingly endless enthusiasm for the sport.
