Last week’s plan to coerce Serbs into donating to my Patreon, by featuring the Serbian flag emoji prominently in my video thumbnails whenever I uploaded a Bogdan Bogdanovic video, was met with mixed success. I did gain one Patron, but the name this Patron used to register for the site is just random letters, so I have no idea if they are a Serb or if they are not a Serb. I feel like a Serb would want to identify themselves to me by using their full Serb name, not hide behind the anonymity of a name that looks like keyboard vomit, but I have no idea. Maybe in Serbia they prosecute you if you give too much money to foreigners, even if those foreigners are doing a lot of good work to promote the Serbian cause and advanced the Serbian agenda.
So that plan, genius as it may have been, has been scrapped. No more Serbian flag emojis on my thumbnails or anywhere else. Instead, I will go back to directly pandering to Serbs through the power of the written word. One great way to do this is to pump up the abilities of Serbs in the NBA while denigrating their teammates. As an example of this technique, I could note that Bogdanovic had a season-high in points this game, and it just so happened to be a game that Trae Young sat out. That’s because Trae Young is a ball hog who doesn’t let Bogdanovic get the touches he needs to be successful. We all know that Bogdanovic thrives when operating as a primary or secondary ball-handler, but when Young is on the court, he is the primary, secondary, and tertiary ball-handler all at once. It wouldn’t kill him to play off-ball every once in a while, but we can’t even see how the Bogdanovic-Young playmaking duo would work because Young hates Serbs, he hates Serbia, and he doesn’t want Serbs like Bogdanovic to succeed.
Back when Bogdanovic was playing poorly to start the season, I was fine with the Bucks missing out on signing him in the off-season. Now that he’s playing well, I’m suffering major FOMO. Is this the right use of the term FOMO? I’ve never used FOMO in a video description before and I’m not sure if I’ve even felt FOMO before this moment where I’m suffering Bogdanovic envy. Bogdanovic would look so good on a team where the only ball hog is Giannis, and Giannis is mature enough to stop being a ball hog if needed. FOMO. So much FOMO. Hold me, Serbs. And donate to my Patreon.
