Of course, lots of people *like* APRS and work other stations on ISS passes. Personally I prefer making packet contacts with people on ISS passes and I don't find it boring at all.
But I'll admit, SSTV is probably more popular - but that may be because it happens in limited times, people hear it's going on and make it a priority to get the image. If it was on 24/7 that might seem get pretty boring pretty quick. It's all pretty cool and amazing to me.

Just curious - is there any way to measure SSTV utilization?
Obviously, not all traffic get's iGated - so, we can double that number from 700 to 1,400 packets in the past 24 hours.
I think I hear you saying SSTV is a better utilization of the radio because more people would utilize the downlink if it was sending SSTV; I'm not convinced that is true.

APRS is so boring. And it has a microscopic following.
Bringback Slow Scan TV 24/7 for 4 months and you will see an exponential grow in the number of
ISS Followers.
