So what if he was? What's your point? He made a mistake, move on, don't hound him. I'd be incredibly surprised if it was out of bias, and it was a...
Obviously they can, the advertiser won't be averse to a global audience just because they're fairly local - same with the regular sponsors, those...
1000 views of a video usually generate less than 1$ iirc, so 10000ppl would probably generate about 5-10$ What BWF generates with the videos on YT...
I recommend Wang/Lee, found them very nice to watch even from the beginning. WCL certainly has an eye for the court, one of the few MD players who...
