[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The funniest thing about all of this, is that literally nobody outside of the swimming world even remotely cares about swimming.

Neither of my kids play basketball, but I'll watch the youth highlights from friends, or even go to the HS games.

My DS plays tackle football.  And people without kids in football will take an interest and comment on his videos or the outcome of his game.

But swimming?  GTFO.  Nobody cares[/quote]

The funniest thing about this is that, while insulting parents who post videos of their kids swimming, you simultaneously tell people - not sarcastically - that you post your son’s football videos (GTFO, who plays football anymore?!) and actually think people GAF about that. Didn’t major in logic in college, I see.[/quote]

I was PP that posted that nobody cares about swimming (and I stand by it)

But I wasn't saying not to post the video.  Post away!  Brag about your kids.  Just dont get upset with your neighbors video of their kid scoring a touchdown gets more engagement[/quote]

You’re insane if you think people care more about one sport over another in SM posts. I think certain sports are more interesting to watch but I give no real attention to any kid focused sports SM posts, even those involving your football playing kid. [/quote]

The amount of people suffering from main character syndrome is ridiculous.  you're insane if you think the rest of the world doesnt watch youth athletic highlights simply because you don't.

People absolutely do and there is ata to back it up.

the highlights of my DS playing football get 20x the views of my other DS on archery or my DD on track.  But my DD's softball highlights gets 10x the views of her track highlights.

But at the end of the day, I don't care.  I still post and share them bc I know people are interested in seeing my kid's successes, just as I am interested in seeing, sharing in, and celebrating their kid's successes

The rest of the world watches youth athletic highlights? Data, please. Exclude all family members, other teens (I’d go to football games but never watch the games), employees, etc. strangers to everyone involved…who is watching youth football? [/quote]

Do you not understand how social media works?  Or do you just use facebook?

I can post a video of my son's football highlights and it will get put into people's feeds from across the country.  They all view it, and many will 'heart' it.

So, even if my number of followers is relatively low, a video could get tens of thousands of views.  Hell, sometimes I mindlessly scroll and watch the highlights from other teams in other parts of the country.

My guess is 90% of those video views are from you and your family. Carry on…

PS that’s not data proving the world watches youth athletics (except boring swimming). That’s proof YOU watch it.  I promise you…people are not at the edge of their seats waiting to see what your kid and his team does next. [/quote]

It literally said earlier that is amazing that some people can't fathom that others like and view different content than they do.

So, my IG following is very modest.  Under 200 followers.  [b]So explain to me that I have videos that have over 2,000 likes, and thousands of views.[/b]

I just liked a video of a youth basketball game that showed up in my feed from an account that I do not follow.  The mom that shared that video has about 500 followers.  I liked it because it was a great pass by her kid.  People watch this stuff.  They've curated their feed to see the content that they want to see

Tbh, you obviously have no idea what you're talking about, or how some aspects of social media even work.

I IMPLORE you to stop posting your numbers of “views” and “Likes.”

I’m going to die of secondhand embarrassment.

Yes, I know you’re boring and predictable, so you’ll come back with a sixth grade “Well, that’s probably a GOOD THING, because the world would be better off without people like you in it!!!”

There. I saved you the keystrokes.  :lol: [/quote]
