Fireg0d (formerly fallguyspro) has been on this site around 14 months, yet has yet to crack 100k or even 70 followers. Why is this? Lets see
Controversies
Ever since his first post hes been getting into debates with his controversial opinions, his first being with user "stro" about whether or not Jared Goff was top 10 due to his high placement on his pricing grid(it is important to be noted this argument started before the 2024 commanders lions divisional and continued after it) this was only the start, as his very bold opinions continued to invoke criticism from his fellow users. As result, not too many flames, likes, or follows were being given out, just an abundance of comments. While these helped push the posts in trending, they didnt help his overall career in the long run. These controversies really resurged in the last few months, sparking massive threads with users such as stro and wiltthegoat about the deserving MVP and most recently with stro, what started as a draft debate turned into controversy surrounding stros character
Inactivity and inconsistency
A fatal flaw in fires game is playtime, as he tends to take breaks on weekends and afternoons/evenings. Hes also been on record taking weeks or even months off the site. This, ofc, isnt good for growth. It didnt help when his computer broke in late December, leaving him to his school laptop and phone

Unfortunately, fire doesn't know a lick about the game of basketball, therefore he sticks to the NFL side. This side is flawed, outdated, and exponentially less popular. This also severely limits his potential
Resurgence
Recently fire has been more active and recieving less criticism on posts. Many legends have retired, leaving the crown more open. Nearing 100k GM score, growing in followers, being named a top 30 user in surges competition are a few accolades. Overall, he has a bright future ahead and we'll see how his career continues to develop
