It's a verb and it's "hatewatching" ๐Ÿ™‚

[โ€“] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (2 children)

But ... why?

If I don't enjoy something, I just turn on something I do enjoy.

Or is it really because they watched so much they don't have anything they enjoy watching anymore?

Sometimes you gotta let steam off by yelling at a show. Better than yelling at people.

And then it bleeds into the internet and communities for fans of the show/movie/game get overrun with people who just want to complain. Complaining gets more engagement than enjoying and the hate rises to the top. And I'm sitting here wondering again: Why don't you just watch things you enjoy and then go lift weights and/or talk to someone (good friend or therapist)?

Me and my wife, in a hotel after a long day, because we can't cast YouTube to the TV (which is becoming less common).
