I find the US commercialisation and dopamine inducing activities quite annoying. Compared to European sports, it's so different.

Well, we used to at least not have to suffer through gambling ads...

I think it reflects a broader difference in philosophy: US sports are optimized as media products first, sporting events second, whereas in Europe it's historically been the other way around

I was yet again shocked at just how little football is actually shown to viewers of the Superbowl. You cut away from commercials to already running plays. You miss everything.

The Superbowl cares more about viewers who don't watch football.

Luckily this time there wasn't much football to watch anyway.
