AJ Dybantsa checks his screen time, then admits it's too much

Overtime's sideline phone check drew nearly half a million views in its first ten hours.

Why this story? The video opened at a pace of 810,706 views a day, 32 times a normal first day on this channel (25,615).

AJ just like us fr 😭

The phone tells on him. Asked about his screen time in an Overtime sideline interview, AJ Dybantsa answers before the graphic even appears: "A lot. Too much."

The display backs him up, showing more than ten hours. This is not a conversation about his jumper or his next game. The basketball player is fielding the sort of question that can make anyone suddenly reconsider their scrolling.

First comes the unread-message count: more than a thousand texts. Dybantsa explains that messages transferred over when he changed his number, alongside texts from people he is not answering. The interviewer follows that up with the screen-time question, a pairing that becomes a running topic in the comments.

The Short, titled "AJ just like us fr 😭", has already gone far beyond Overtime's usual first-day Shorts audience, despite being online for less than a full day. Its comment section is also several times busier than a typical first day.

When the interviewer points out that the screen time is high for an athlete, Dybantsa doesn't argue. "I gotta cut it down."
