2017 had a total solar eclipse in the US in the southeast. People did care about it, but it wasn't as big of a deal as this one I don't think. I think part of the reason is people were made aware of how awesome (literal meaning) the event is in 2017 and this was almost perfectly centered across the US so accessible to almost everyone if they really want to.
