What I like about Adam Bobrow compared to for example Dan from TTD, that he plays 3-4 matches compare to 1, so you can see how they compare a little bit more... :)

The injury really sucked because I really wanted to see more of the match!!

Adam has a really good formula with his videos. He keeps it fun and exciting with not only the table tennis, but also showing us the country and the people as well.

LUCKY ONE HE IS.

I-Ching seems nice.  I wonder how much the players get paid.  I mean, there must be an appearance fee of some sort.  They're not doing it out of the goodness of their hearts.  I say I-Ching would take $500, Lin Yun-Ju and Lin Gaoyuan maybe $1000 each, and Harimoto nothing less than $2500.  What do you guys think?

Hahaha. Not even close to that little. An appearance fee for an event (tournament they have no interest in, or corporate event) is going to be WAY more than that. They likely did these videos for the promotion or just for fun, given that they are friends, possibly facilitated by Adam's friendship with Jiaqi.

Way more? Really? I'm not talking about appearing in a tournament or a corporate event.  I'm talking about only appearing in Bobow's video.  What is your number for the players I listed?

I'd guess they did it for free.

Everyone you have seen in these videos from Adam have done it for free. It's about 50-50 him asking the players or the players asking him to do the videos

Hmmm, seems like the new stiltt is not much different than the old FATT. Sometimes it’s better just not to comment when you don’t know the whole story. Lol.

Late response but as I mentioned earlier I think these videos with Adam were done for free. It is a break from routine for them, he has rapport and friendship with a lot of the players, and it is free promotion for them. 

When it comes to purely business appearance fees, the pros charge a lot more. Think at least 5-10x your initial estimates.

How exactly are they taken hostage? Lin Yunju and Cheng Iching inviting their friends and family, picking him up from the train station, exchanging jokes, spending days or weekends , having meals together does not exactly sound like a hostage situation to me? Adam has rapport with a lot of these players. I know he is controversial and it is clear how you feel about him, but it is odd to call him a "random ittf journalist" "trying to elevate himself to their level" when he has a bigger following than most of the players. He is actually the one that can help them promote themselves.

Hmm I think he's a net benefit to the sport in general. Has quite infectious enthusiasm, definitely better than a lot of the other boring commentators who talk about mental strength all the time as if they're psychologists lol...

But some of his videos on his YouTube channel are kinda cringe tbh...

You don't sound like a very happy person.  I'm not sure what your issues are, but Vince is a very nice guy who does a lot for table tennis.

Some time ago I've read in a table tennis FB group I am in about pro salaries. Maybe everyone finds that interesting as I did:


-players who are ~bellow ITTF250+ are playing for food, equipment and a butterfly suit. On a good day, they even may get 100eur for small expenses 
-players around ITTF250 earn on average 12-15000 EUR per season +bonuses for results, so on average around 100eur per victory
-players around ITTF200-250 can expect 15-20000 EUR per season+some bonuses
-players around ITTF150-200 can expect 18-22000 EUR per season+some bonuses
-players around ITTF100-150 can earn up to 30000 per season, on average 25-27000 EUR per season
-Crossing ITTF-100 is an important threshold in Table tennis. Top 100 players salaries start from 30000 eur per season. But it depends upon how stable are you. Whether you are always in the top 100 or if your ranking varies from for example ITTF-120 to ITTF-80...
-players around ITTF-60 and up earn 40-50000 eur per season. Those who are stable above ITTF-50 earn not less then 60000EUR per season
-players around ITTF-20 earn from 60-90000eur per season. But it may vary wildly depending on the results
-top players get 150000-300000 eur per season or more. But, for example, stars like Timo Boll earn much more than that.
Also, players get bonuses for taking first places in various tournaments, so this money usually goes only to top players naturally.

Salaries in China are much bigger than in Euro

Yeah. That has been quoted around quite a lot. I suspect Adam's YouTube channel generates a lot more income than most pro players. I personally really like all of his videos :)

He before all respects a social contract where he is all 100% clean. He surfs a wave in the most respectable way, he has the right to do so as any human being but I have a hard time when I see superstars submitting to his level for exposure and he brags about it, it is just not fun, it's all about him and I want more from the people he is with, that's where his stance is sick and a waste of time.

I don't understand why you're angry when other people are having fun.  It looks like Adam and the superstars are having a lot of fun together.  As a bonus the videos show the viewers that superstars are human with a sense of humor.   Adams videos are very good for table tennis.

Tbh I totally get stilltt's perspective. It does look a bit shitty if he's not at least sharing some of the video revenues with the players, especially when he also benefited from their hospitality.

You've nailed why I found quite a few of his videos to be cringe.....just comes off as a self centred showoff....

He's not a journalist, he's a clown.  A clown is an entertainer.  Entertainers direct attention to themselves as the primary function of their acts.

The ITTF, that staid, dry, somber British organization it has always been, sitting on its hands as many other international sports skyrocketed to great growth and success in the Era of Professional Sports Development that came, lived, and then stabilized, was accosted with the thought that, gee, maybe we too could do what other sports, those now of enormous wealth and visibility, could do in terms of our sport's promotion.  That this irritating and very anti-ITTF-history notion is 70 years late troubles not those responsible.

Entering a stabilized business environment, populated by extremely powerful agents for the commercialized sports, is a task that may, at best, anticipate only slow, incremental advancement within the space, a space in which the oxygen is sucked up almost completely by the wealthy stakeholders of those commercialized sports.  To that desirable but extremely difficult journey, a clown is selected to add to the entertainment dimension of the sport, a rare, rare attempt at addressing the more social aspect of table tennis.  To this end, Adam is a very good choice.

Thanks.

I think there is a misunderstanding that Adam is a journalist...he's not. So whatever rules of journalistic integrity you think there are do not apply here...and if you guys are so disgusted by self-promoting online personalities, maybe the internet isn't the place for you in 2020...adam does very little of this in comparison to other online personalities. concerns about the players financial wellbeing doesnt strike me as genuine. they had free will in whether or not they wanted to participate and whatever arrangement was made behind the scenes doesn't concern us...all we need to know is they agreed to make the video and did so

I was wondering if anyone else noticed this and though it pretty strange (outrageous?).  

Why anyone (especially the Assistant Admin on a TT Forum!) would get so upset, uppity, and personal about TT Videos - especially videos that put a positive light on TT - is beyond me.  

If Adam's videos get more folks watching something TT related, they are a win in my book.  I don't know Adam, any of the folks in his videos, or STILTT, but I know which of the above group seems to be doing more to promote TT.  Adam and his TT Guests always seem to have a lot of fun.  The videos (to me at least) illustrate that TT is a very athletic, challenging sport.  They also show that TT, even at very high levels, is played by real (some really fun!) people.  None of them appear to be doing their "Adam thing" at gunpoint or under threat of violence.

I think his videos show the remarkable difficulty and different levels of TT.  Even non-players should be impressed that top players can spot Adam (clearly a pretty darn good player himself) 7 points to 11 and win.  I suspect Adam could spot something like half the players at my club 7 points.  These same players could spot most "Garage or Basement" players 7 points.

Hmm I don't think so, if you look at Dan from TableTennisDaily who interviews and plays the pros, he comes off as a lot more genuine and way less cringe. Same for the Pongfinity guys who's probably raking in even more than Adam. Both are also much better players than Adam lol...
