i respect your tone. i like that you roll with the block and make a joke out of it, but still defend yourself.

@constantlyvariedconversations Месяц назад

Well I don’t always keep my cool so trying to learn from my mistakes

You are wrong about one thing. It is very cool for a 50 year old man to be doing meme's. It shows creativity. This is coming from a 53 year old man that wishes he was creative enough to consistently make funny content. Keep it up.

@constantlyvariedconversations 23 дня назад

😂 thanks. My daughters disagree

@justsomeeyemakeup Месяц назад

It's cool to be a memelord at any age because it can be relatable to so many people, around the world. You never know how it helps or may help. And your account helped a lot of us in the Crossfit community in Manila who were mentally struggling during the height of pandemic lockdowns.

You are too kind! Thank you!

@JasonCFMedia Месяц назад

Send in the clowns. Well put. Hopefully people can see past the drama and start asking questions

You’re always a voice of reason Jason

I have no personal grievance or beef towards Dave, but he does have a distinct pattern of behavior that you (and others) have pointed out, in that he routinely claims he "doesn't know who someone is" or "doesn't watch someone's content", etc etc, but then goes into detail about his opinions of a person or the content they post. It just gives off this aura of being disingenuous or contrived and trying to act "above" other people. Again, I don't dislike Dave and I think he does a lot of good in the space overall.

I do CrossFit but not in a CF facility. Might be 50 of us.

Garage Gym Mafia for life!

@MariamOsman1 8 дней назад

Same. At least, we are not an official affiliate. We may be a little more than 50.

@marciz34 Месяц назад

interesting stuff. been doing CF since 2011, I stopped signing up for the open because of my belief it wasnt for the community but a $$ grab. it became really apparent to me when they moved to 2 rounds and you had to pay for both. they were looking for revenue anywhere they could find it

@amacluskie Месяц назад

And here I thought it was still about the deadlift video, LOL. Great talk, John!

@constantlyvariedconversations Месяц назад

Thank you! 🙏

@jeffzwally 23 дня назад

Affiliate owner here, never said anything rude, asked him about his IG account which is an official CFHQ account and something he posted, DC blocked me too... question

@constantlyvariedconversations 23 дня назад

Thats a common story 😆

@coach_suhr_moose Месяц назад

If CrossFit doesn't own anything, then what are they doing with the $4k affiliate fee, and the revenue from the Open/QF/SF/Games, the L1/L2 Seminars, online education . . . . all those things? Aren't these all revenue streams? Asking b/c I don't understand what's happening.

@constantlyvariedconversations 29 дней назад

Having Revenue and ownership are different things. They own a brand name. When I said they don’t own anything I meant property. Most “chains” own the land or buildings they have businesses on. In an affiliate model that isn’t the case.

@samuele.marcora 23 дня назад

I think the idea of a blended CF experience is worth considering. I do CF at home or outdoor, and go to an affiliate when travelling, and the two could be combined in innovative and effective ways

@frag1313 Месяц назад

You called it man. The app is happening.

Excellent video!

great video

@constantlyvariedconversations 29 дней назад

Thank you! 🙏

9:13 Dave's WIR IS NOT official CF Media. Is as official as we get, but it is not official.

@constantlyvariedconversations Месяц назад

Disagree. When CF produces little to no official updates and a director level employee with insider knowledge discusses the project’s they are working on it becomes official. But if it isn’t “official” then the question begs how does a corporation the size of CrossFit have such a terrible social media policy governing their employees. It puts the entire business at a potential reputational risk.

@TomVickers-rn6rc Месяц назад

For a guy that professes not to care that Dave blocked him you spend a lot of time fretting about it. And he talked about the block, and Hiller, because he was asked by commenters to speak to both subjects. He has effectively gotten under your and Hiller’s skin.

@constantlyvariedconversations Месяц назад

Sounds like you missed the point about the video which was mostly about CF’s poor media strategy. Plus Im allowed to respond when he proactively discusses me on his show and gets most if not all of the facts wrong.
