Sure, some form of solar eclipse happens a few times a year, but most of those aren't full eclipses, and even when they are (every 18 months or so), totality isn't visible from populated land (so they are mostly visible from the poles or somewhere in the middle of an ocean).

The excitement isn't about the rarity of the eclipse, but of how rare it is for totality to be directly visible to so many people.

Maybe you should take a minute to consider why you feel the need to shit on something cool most people might only get to see with their own eyes once, maybe twice in a lifetime, and which couldn't possibly be causing you any harm.
