Happier diner Posted June 5, 2023 Share Posted June 5, 2023 1 hour ago, A fool and his money..... said: Really? A quick Google shows that it's watched by about 3.5 billion people worldwide. That means almost a billion more people don't watch it than do. Seems pretty niche to me - but then I don't like it or watch it. Does 3.5Bn really meet the definition of niche? denoting products, services, or interests that appeal to a small, specialized section of the population.

Yes, as I have said, almost a billion more people don't watch it than do. A billion! That's a thousand million. A significant number of people, wouldn't you agree? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This animal exploits this niche environment and is highly specialised to do so etc... I've noticed many people insert a mysterious 't' or maybe seem to confuse it with Nietzsche.

Of course there are no logistical barriers to people watching a motorcycle race on a small island in the middle of the Irish sea with very limited transport links and tourist accommodation. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you want a bit of time to think about that? How many different people do you think you will see in your lifetime? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
