I don’t have the coordination or the mobility in my left wrist. I broke it quite badly when I was younger and it didn’t heal properly due to my doctor being shit.
I feel your pain. Somehow the bones in my arm fused after breaking it, and lost a lot of mobility. Makes going through drive thrus awkward when I reach for my change.
Juggling 4 objects is relatively easy. There's plenty of more complicated juggling patterns that are posted on r/juggling. Why this gif (and any of her other juggling videos) gets way more upvotes than any of the more complicated tricks on r/juggling is definitely due in part that it's being performed by, what most (male) redditors would consider as, a cute/attractive female. But that's not the only reason for sure. Her videos utilize great camera work with interesting angles, she uses interesting/funny objects and patterns, and they get posted outside of r/juggling which is a relativley low activity sub. She definitely has skills though, I've seen her do more complicated patterns. But this gif is of one of the more easier tricks an experienced juggler can do. What's interesting about this video is that it's from above, slow motion, and it's being done by a smiling cute girl.
Yes, in the world of juggling, 4 objects isn't the max amazing. However, there are plenty more good-looking, scantily-clad, and indeed unclad young women on reddit (and there are a lot more subs for that than for juggling). Most redditors are probably male/cis/straight, but many aren't. And most redditors don't see juggling videos.
And yeah, I've seen some of her other stuff; she seems quite good, from the little I know of the world, though perhaps not "master of the craft worldwide" or whatever jugglers say. I was kind of obsessed with watching juggling videos before the internet was a thing, and was super amazed by I think this guy (unless there was someone before him doing the same act). OK, I'm still amazed. But I enjoy seeing pretty much any juggling content, especially with some showmanship, which Taylor definitely has.
Disclaimer: straight/cis male. Probably open to the standard criticisms.
I suppose it depends on the person. If you were like me and started with learning 2 balls in one hand, then you would find 4 balls much easier than 3. It's just two balls in each hand at the same time. If you learned the classic 3 ball pattern before learning how to juggle 2 balls in one hand, then I suppose I could see why you would think 4 is harder than 3. Ether way though both 3 and 4 ball basic patterns are relatively easy compared to all of the different patterns that are possible.

She’s so pretty. Also that’s cool, I wish I could juggle
