    Watching sports of any kind.

    I get made fun of for playing video games and shit meanwhile millions of people lose their shit over grown ass men chasing a ball.

    I’d be less insulting about it if I wasn’t ridiculed every time I bring up not liking sports.

      I remember an old reddit post about what it’s like to not like football by replacing it with archeology. I felt that in my soul.

        Honestly that’s why I hate sports. It started out as just disliking it but after working food service my whole life I’ve grown to hate sports due to how much it affects my job.

    Any social media platform where you follow people instead of topics.

    I have to just sort of flail about in the void looking for people in my same niche to follow, and by the exact same token, no one will ever look at anything I post unless one of the Popular Accounts™ re-shares it. What’s worse, a re-share from a person with a lot of followers has more value than a re-share from an average Joe. That never sat right with me – the idea that one person’s opinions on what was and wasn’t good were more valuable than everyone else’s, and that everyone therefore competed for that person’s attention.

      That does make me miss how Facebook and Twitter used to be utilized with friends following each other and posting content that they made and not simply reposting everything that comes their way.

      I do value the opinion of people I know but I want hear them say it not some larger personality.

      It really was excellent in its infancy, once you’d honed your algorithm. Some of the funniest, sharpest content on the internet at the time, with a really tight knit in-joke machine - reminiscent of early internet communities. It boomered up and burnt out, but there was certainly a spark there.

      It’s an acquired taste. Back when I was a starving student and everyone was drinking cheap alcohol and living off 2-minute noodles, I acquired the taste

    Instagram. I have no interest in taking pictures or sharing things regularly. All the content looks so boring I don’t get the appeal. Even on an interesting post the comments are borderline spam fire emojis and people saying let’s go.

      It’s used to be just a way to share photos with family and friends, those days are long gone, it’s just ads and fuckwits.

      Live TV is great. I have a live feed of a stork nest in the background, and you get to see it feed its chicks, teach them to fly, and murder a few depending on mood.
