TopPlays vs Scrolling Social Media

TL;DR

Stop doom-scrolling Twitter and Instagram for highlights. TopPlays surfaces the most viral plays automatically so you never miss a moment.

The Problem with Scrolling Social Media

✕

You have to follow dozens of accounts across Twitter, Instagram, and TikTok just to stay current.

✕

Highlights get buried under memes, hot takes, and ads — you scroll past 50 posts to find one clip.

✕

There is no ranking — a routine layup gets the same feed placement as a game-winning buzzer-beater.

✕

Algorithms prioritize engagement bait over actual highlights, so the best plays often get lost.

✕

If you miss a window, the clip disappears from your feed and you have to search manually.

✓

The algorithm works for you: it tracks virality across platforms and surfaces the plays everyone is talking about.
