I'll mention something different for my own contribution than my usual:

I've always hated Seinfeld, including when his show was brand new. "It's a show about nothing!" was a thought terminating cliche in the 90s that was used to pitch the show at me again and again by its fans, and also to dismiss any and all problems I had with the show and its ultra-privileged smarmy main character. If I got anything valuable out of that show and for that matter his stand up routine, it was a lifelong allergy to New Yorker comedy that front loads a whole lot of "I am a New Yorker which means I am smarter and tougher and wiser and more cultured and more sophisticated yet more grounded than you" self-aggrandizement into the set. :nyet:

    Any kind of streamer stuff really just doesn't appeal to me. I might watch highlights if it's a game I really love, but I just can't watch someone streaming for hours regularly

    I also don't like eating animals 🤭

      I don't like livestreams in general because you can't start from the beginning so I'll wait until it's done to try to watch it but then it might not be made available afterwards as a normal video and then there is a 90% chance it was boring garbage anyways.

        To be fair, you have to have a very high IQ to understand Jerma985. The humour is extremely subtle, and without a solid grasp of car accident physics most of the jokes will go over a typical viewer's head. There's also Jeremy's suspicious outlook, which is deftly woven into his characterisation- his personal philosophy draws heavily from American Psycho, for instance.

      I think I’m just too old for it. My time to consume media is so limited, why would I want to watch someone else play a video game?

      The entire streamer format is grating to me. Even if I would have liked the person or the content otherwise, I don't want to see a continuous selfie of someone slowly drip feeding me what I came for.

      I only really watch streamers if they're vtubers, and then I only watch them while doing something else, like eating or working on something.
