no fan fest thread and no videos from fan fest, even on twitter?

This^ The NFL is printing money right now and the TV deals are filling the owner's pockets so they don't really give a rat's behind about engaging with the fan base. The NFL is wildly popular so people are going to watch and go no matter what.

I think they are entering a period where they will start to pay for their sins.

It is very possible with the turnover in generations. Fan loyalty is not what it used to be. However, Mark Cuban predicted the demise of the NFL 20 years ago and it hasn't happened yet.

The demographics aren't working in their favor at the moment. It could turn around but I very much doubt it.

Put simply, this board's primary base was people here from the beginning until around 2015. The ones who came because Cam never stuck, save for a couple. The rest of us are now 35+ years old with jobs and families in an economy that sees us making more than double what we made 10 years ago and being no better off for it. We just don't have the time to invest in this place. 

I'll add that the Huddle is just collateral damage - I find myself damn near indifferent if almost wholly disinterested in the NFL as a whole. Tepper's gross mismanagement from 2018-2023 pretty much killed my passion for the Pantehrs and the NFL getting in bed with gambling and Fanduel/Draftkings/MGM/whatever the f else is out there being shoved in our faces constantly has been an absolute turnoff. Put those alongside the massive chokehold that teams have placed on things like video, primarily only putting out those dumbass slow-motion zoomed videos with awful music where you can't see crap, and... well...

It's almost as if a team being dog shit for nearly a decade and having the worst ownership in pro sports takes a toll on fan interest.
