Chaser convergence is an issue, but giving deference to "tv chasers" is a horshit reason to get your panties twisted over when media conglomerates rape storm chasers as practice. They're owned by billion dollar corporations that believe storm chasers make a living off of "credit". I'll never side with a news channel on this issue.
Its not siding with TV chasers, I believe there are better ones. My main point is TV has the most wide reaching coverage. The ratings are off the charts and they do not show commercials.
To reach the masses it comes from TV. If another non TV chaser disrupts them thats less timely info for the public. And its worse at night where TV chasers know the roads and other chasers get lost and clog roads.
I will say, you can get great info on social media. But not to the numbers TV gets.
Its all about reach and TV can reach more and thus save more lives.
Thats all I’m saying

We get quicker and more reliable information about more storms across a wider area with the chasing community as it is now.
To the point of reaching a larger market: I don't even know how much longer that will be true.
