Doug Polk posted this crazy troll song a few days ago, about Negs and pokerstars rake.
I think Daniel was promoting the game in a decent manner all these years, yet the market needs new ambassadors and a new vision in order to escape 2011 black friday and become worldwide again.
What will actually change the bear poker trend which is declining in numbers since 2011 can be crypto.
A new solid site with a stable and modern application, accepting crypto only to avoid country bans, backed by pros that aren't scumbags, transparent with a huge marketing campaign and lots of live events. Of-course less rake too.
Perhaps another "Rounders"-like movie might also help build up a craze.
