I think we'll see more and more cheating scandals across a variety of similar niche type sports. The extra income and notoriety from social media is going to attract all sorts of sociopaths. In the past, if you were a high level fisher, you were largely limited to prize money and maybe some low end sponsorship deals. Now you can launch a successful YouTube/instagram account and the sponsorship deals will feed off those.
