Everybody is talking about how anticlimactic the ball drop was this year but at least it didn't become December 32nd.

The quietest New Year’s Eve ever. It’s like this is a movie where the world has ended and this is what’s left.

[juscrouch]

You can't even see the ball drop for all the corporate advertising! Horrible!

The KIA and Planet Fitness ads covered everything. I know it's Time Square, but it seemed especially bad this year. I hate our corporate, money obsessed culture. Sick.

It's so quiet, that it's creepy and eerie. Like the clock town from Majora's Mask

What a fitting ending of 2020. Corporate sponsors hide the ball drop. Figures.

It’s sad we can’t even enjoy the ball drop without all of the KIA ads did we really need an ad in the middle of the

[Dani-jxbo]

This was the longest new years eve ever lol

[gabriellar]

Literally this entire thing is so dystopian its TERRIFYING

[TheGoncas]

What a horrible way to end a horrible year. Thanks Kia and Planet Fitness.

A lot of people didn't make it to this point. I commented on last year's saying how a few of those people in the previous crowd are probably dead. It's so eerily quiet. This marks a turning point.

I'm not the only one who thought this was depressing, right? Like, in terms of the show itself. They could have done a better job hosting it and making it a good show. I'm not even taking about Corona limitations I'm talking about their ability to provide commentary and host the damn thing. Compare this one to how Dick Clark used to provide commentary and informations and just genuinely excite people. Nothing to do with budget and pandemic limitations, everything to do with being a good entertainer and lifting peoples spirits.

This is the saddest Time Square new year’s celebration, it’s haunting seeing that little people. May god be with us all through this year.

I'm legit crying tears of joy right now because whoever is reading this, we survived 2020!!! I didn't think I would but here I am, typing this with tears of pride in my eyes. Happy new year, everyone! Love you and have a healthy and happy 2021! <3

Richest country in the world but cheapest looking celebration that I'm guessing Kia paid for?

[melissabaker]

Wtf? Kia adds hiding the ball drop. What a lame ass way to bring in the new year. Makes me pissed enough not to buy a Kia just for that reason!

[raidingtombs]

Where’s the freaking ball??? I just see an ad. 😡

[whosthatboy]

London fireworks: unity, love, coming together.

New York fireworks: buy this Kia. NEW

POV: You fell asleep minutes before the ball dropped

[coleeg]
