What is it with me and using the least popular thing. I'm sitting here on a Mac, writing Ruby, and posting on Kbin. All my favorite shows get cancelled. None of my favorite musicians are terribly well known. Every new car looks horrible to me.

I think if you want something to be successful, make it as unappealing to me as possible.

You might be what is called a "harbinger of failure". A type of consumer that continuously and unwittingly buys failing products. https://scienceblog.com/479872/harbinger-of-failure-some-consumers-unerringly-buy-unpopular-products/

This sounds more like me than "hipster." It's not that I like things that then get popular, only to not like them. I like things that haven't been and will never be popular, just because I like them. I'd love if people started enjoying the things I like because it would help them survive.

Anybody have something they hate they want me to buy so it can be destroyed?

Can you buy reddit?

As long as I don't have to use it, sure.

Did you have a zune? Please tell me you had a zune :D

I myself gave a bit of a harbinger streak to me. Proud owner of a Nokia N-gage, I loved google Stadia and all my favorite snackflavors seem to disappear.

I'm almost scared to like new concepts or products and techniques, afraid of killing them off.

You're clearly a hipster. Don't ask for sympathy from us, you've made your choices
