There's a mix I think, however that doesn't mean all that much.
For instance the guy who runs the Toyota Hybrid Fan account is only going on the Sunday and I doubt he's a casual fan. The guy who runs the Porsche fan account is only going Saturday and Sunday too.
The big losers imo are those who can't get to a race and are unsure on whether to pay.They can't check the series out from track side and they can't legally watch it.
If payment is needed it will be interesting to see the numbers on the daily-motion stream.
An alternative I can think of is that they start putting advertising in the stream. Skygo does this with it's ondemand stuff and it's not too annoying. If the WEC stream had a sponsor advert every 30 mins or every hour, and not necessarily in a fixed position, so if there's great racing they can delay it until an appropriate time I think that might be a compromise people would be willing to take.
