Watching nba games right now is by far easier than ever in the past.

It’s not hard to avoid ticktok/Twitter if it’s not your thing.

But the NBAs strategy of trying to appeal to a younger generation is certainly working out financially far better than whatever the frick the MLB has done for the past decade.

Absolutely horrific quality basketball that is only entertaining because of gimmicks:

1) Single elimination format (thus upsets)
2) The sheer number of games, because idiotically 64 teams are in it, results in a decent amount of close games and buzzer beaters.

The whole thing is designed to be chaos, that's why it's fun.

The quality of basketball is absolutely not entertaining. Though I will say I think the length of the NBA season and 7 game playoff series makes the NBA less entertaining.

I hate to break it to you, but this rambling monologue makes you seem dorkier than most of NBA Twitter. Complaining because highlight videos don’t have rock music? Seriously?

Come on man, “hit different” only means: the subject is at the moment (feels/taste/looks)better. There’s nothing more beyond that.

TikTok makes my skin legitimately crawl. And most of the stuff you see in rap videos looks like smooth brained imbeciles escaped an asylum.




Do you have an account and actually given it a try? You know you can have your feed show the kind of stuff that interests you right?

I dont mind Twitter, but if I'm just wanting something mindless to do for 15-20 minutes, I go to TikTok. You can pretty much watch funny videos if thats what you want to do, or sports clips, comedians. Whatever the hell interests you. My feed doesnt show any 16 kids with perms dancing. Sometimes i'll get some hot chick dancing but i'm pretty fine with that popping up. I'd rather get on there an laugh than go on Instagram and see pictures of food or one funny video that I already saw on TikTok a month ago.

I'm not saying its for everybody. But it seems that almost everybody that isnt on TikTok, has some generalized opinion of it that isnt true. There is some really lame stuff on there and kids these days are annoying as hell, but its pretty easy to not see any of that.

I’ve seen stuff on YouTube shorts that essentially gets reposted.

But no, I’m not going to put TikTok on my phone. And that’s not even just because I think it’s cringey

That's what I figured. It's something that makes your skin crawl but all you've seen are a few TikTok on YouTube. Keep sharing the "if you can see the 3 three letters in this photo then you have a 200 IQ" or your Wordle score type posts on Facebook that I'm sure you think are cool and maybe the kids will get off your lawn.

Your guess to my age is off by like 30% lol.

Also I don’t have a Facebook. I deleted all that shite. It’s a cesspool. But you’re welcome to swim in it
