Popular YouTuber The Act Man took to Twitter on August 8, 2023, to share his thoughts on Alia "SSSniperWolf's" reaction content. He shared a clip from the latter's video titled, People Who Have Way Too Much Free Time, in which she was seen reacting to a slew of viral clips. However, she inadvertently reused a basketball trickshot video twice in the eight-minute feature.
While watching, SSSniperWolf said:
"Whoa! I don't know how people jump this high. Oh, he jumped on the trampoline thing. I was like, 'There is no way!' Bro just flew into the hoop. Dunked himself, too. Does that count for extra points?"
