No, but you can't single out one factor as what is creating the enthusiasm and ignore all the other factors, either. The Jomez fanboys seem to forget everything else in play.
The effect that YouTube could have on disc golf was evident long before Jomez. The Cubby videos drove disc golf engagement for a while there and spawned a host of imitation ace videos that were bringing people out to the course. It was pretty evident then that if low-quality ace videos could engage people that better content could have a big impact. DiscGolfPlanet.tv tried to be the breakthrough, but it wasn't time. DGPT hadn't started yet, the content wasn't there.
This boom we have now is the intersection of quality video content, DGPT receiving a huge investment boost from new ownership, a sport that had built up a base slowly over 40 years and establish a wide net of courses, and a pandemic upending people's lives and leaving them open to try something new. That doesn't even figure in what the disc manufacturers are doing, there is a retail side to being ready to fill our hands with equipment. Plus...none of this can happen before the Internet. There are a bunch of moving parts to what is happening now. Jomez is one of the parts.
totally agree--kind of said that in reply to your last post.
I think it is reasonable to say we might not have DG as a sport like it is today without Steady Ed*...after that, everyone is just a part of the story.
* Might just a be a few kids throwing frisbees at trees otherwise.
