I think the NBA has a sort of social media style negativity meme culture that is just feeding on itself. It's bizarre. It's even more bizarre that the NBA and it's media partners seem to WANT this to continue. The media meta surrounding the NBA is very negative. Old players hating on new players, new players hating on old players. Media hating on everyone, all with flimsy arguments and sometimes with no argument at all. It's unbearable, and the negativity is unlike any other major American sport. So it almost doesn't matter what they're talking about it, someone has a lot of negativity about everything. Orgs like ESPN, and others seem to just feed it as if they don't know what else to do. Draymond Green, a player with some serious behavioral issues and numerous suspensions (and he should have more than that), was made a guest commentator last playoff season ... a completely inexplicable choice, but apparently everyone was ok with it. I don't know why, but with the NBA everyone involved seems to "WANT" this. |

Content (Supply) keeps growing but Eyeballs (Demand) is fixed by the number of people and time available.
This is an unstable State in an Attention based Economic system that doesnt acknowledge the massively growing difference between those 2 curves.
We have seen this in Cash based Economic systems where cash is printed faster than products entering the market. People in the market spent centuries attributing the consequences to everything other excessive money printing cause it was non obvious to them that money supply was increasing too fast. This is why central banks emerged.
Same story here. People will talk about everything other than Supply massively overshooting demand because there is no Central Attention Bank monitoring the divergence. So we just get huge amount of cannabilism and everyone shocked and suprised by it.
