One New York City man's negative review of Monday's solar eclipse has gone viral, as he claimed it was 'super overhyped' and rated it just three out of five stars.
People across the US left their homes and offices celestial event, some of them traveling across the country to be in the path of totality, where the moon appears to completely block the sun for several minutes.
But for the TikToker who goes by Tyreak Told You, the once-in-a-lifetime celestial event 'left much to be desired' and 'felt like a big ol' waste of time.'
He rattled off a list of people he blamed for hyping up the 'bum-*ss eclipse' - from the media to meteorologists, and conspiracy theorists he said were all responsible for raising expectations.
TikToker @tyreaktoldyou gave the eclipse a scathing three-star review, saying 'we got the sample platter, we didn't get the whole thing.'

AdvertisementIn some cultures, ancient people believed that eclipses were evidence of mystical happenings.
In ancient China, people believed a solar eclipse happened when a celestial dragon attacked and devoured the sun. And ancient Hindus believed eclipses were when celestial demons drank the nectar of benevolent gods.
But Tyreak was harder to impress.
'I thought that my chakras would go into overload and I would get superpowers and turn into something else,' he said.
But the eclipse left him unchanged and frustrated.
'It didn't even get all the way dark,' he complained. 'We didn't get full coverage, we got like 80 percent coverage.'
In this case, he is underselling the eclipse's coverage.
Even though New York City was outside the eclipse's path of totality, viewers in the city did see the moon block the sun about 90 percent of the way.
But he is correct that he didn't see the city get plunged into darkness for several minutes as the moon crossed the sun.
Though New York City did take on an eerie quality of diffused light, it was not totality.
The partial solar eclipse, seen from the Top of the Rock at Rockefeller Center on April 08, 2024 in New York City. The city wasn't in the path of totality, but it saw up to 90 percent of the sun covered by the moon.
Walking down the sidewalk with his eclipse viewing glasses on his head, TikToker @tyreaktoldyou expressed his disappointment that the moon did not completely blot out the sun when the eclipse was viewed from New York City.
'We got the sample platter, we didn't get the whole thing,' Tyreak went on.
'All that happened was that it got slightly darker...and it got cold,' he said. 'I would give this eclipse a three out of five, and that's me being generous.'
He added that he's 'seen better eclipses,' and went on to jokingly praise the eclipse's agent and publicity team, as if the solar phenomenon was a movie star or musician.
'Whoever you have on your team, I hope you pay them top dollar, because the way they marketed this event, I thought I was gonna get a life-changing experience,' he said. 'No.'
Tyreak then likened the eclipse to an overhyped artist who is backed by big companies, while smaller artists labor in obscurity:
'This is what happens when you have the machine behind you: You can be like, lackluster and untalented but still get all this attention. Meanwhile, it's all these independent eclipses that's not signed to a major label, and they just out here struggling!'
