As MUCH as people have their memes towards ZeRo (hell, the guy even bothers to roast himself at some points via his #Opinions video), he's made a very good point in this link.
People in general (mainly in America) spend a lot of time pissing each other off (the hell that is /4 chan).
As explained in ZeRo's USA vs. Japan video, Japan practices online a lot to improve together at a steady rate while systematically playing the game. Their tournaments are a lot more spaced out and infrequent, and having money as the prize is considered to be illegal gambling in their culture.
There's a reason why the trading mechanic was created for Pokemon in the first place.
Meanwhile, in America, we keep A LOT of secrets from each other (e.g. Chosen from YouTube uploads a CoD trickshot video, but some "underground" trickshot community wants him to remove it and so they SWAT him because he refused). A lot of people are loud and hyped during matches mainly because since tournament players win money as their prize, matches are normally a lot more at stake (I know I would be since I too, am an American).
A lot of us in general are solitary gamers and/or LOVE to waste time punching each other down with troll memes.
In order words, we say "git gud" just for the hell of it and causing people who are struggling to get good to still stay in their form of "ELO Hell".
However, this part is also justified in that despite the incentives to put yourself through a solid practice regimen so you can throw your weight towards the proper fields bit by bit, in the end people keep having to say this: you're still playing a game.
A game is normally meant to be fun, and it may or may not be synonymous with a physical sport you would put much more effort towards in comparison.
So that's that. That's my dumb epiphany coming from a 10-to-33% winrate player such as I.
Plus, look at the comments in the link. It's full of satirical bs just for the hell of it with barely anything that bothers to agree with the topic. I get some of you guys hate the hell out of ZeRo or something, but god damn.
Git gud? Okay, then how? Oh, just do it? Okay then. Time to pick a random path because some troll said so.
Then again, we're in a nation that has been doing things just to drive others nuts. We troll, we clickbait, we mispronounce Asian names wrong, we love to use Ness' down throw-to-forward aerial-spam-combo, we love to trash talk, and we love to claw-in other newcomer's faces due to some form of sick pride.
As per a comedy routine that may have been stolen from-hell-and-back-to-back, we were born because some random historical figure from Europe wanted to find an alternate route to India to woo a queen, and as soon as he landed in America, it was to this day we still call Native Americans as Indians. =P
That's just how most of us work in America I realized; however I've never been to Japan at all, and I've only heard and seen things about them. This is just my personal epiphany anyway.
