What do you mean unnecessary, I saved king Casimir twice, random people at the tavern are talking about it every single day.

watching sports is entertaining as you're watching highly skilled individuals perform at the highest level + gives you a sense of belonging; games - entertainment and skill development, whether those are multiplayer games that teach you cooperation and competition, or single-player games that is fun and in a lot of cases learning (through lore), developing motor skills, strategic thinking and so on; tv/reading - learning (nothing is useless information, it helps create more connections in your brain);

yet, sitting in ketchup is brainrot content - 0 value

To be fair, watching sports is absolutely also brainrot for people not enjoying it.

Watching sports is literally watching other people live their dream…. While you do not.

I'd literally prefer to watch MrBeast sit in ketchup for 50 hours than watch an NFL game.
