Maybe I’m a dumb dumb but why are all your posts being downvoted? It’s not an incorrect sub issue, so is it a tone issue e.g saying “don’t downvote” is an invitation to?
Everything is worth watching. Find out if you like it. If you don’t, that isn’t wasted time, that’s you defining your taste.
There’s this strange idea that engaging with things we don’t like is somehow a bad thing, but the net result is that we lose the ability to discern our own tastes if we only reference a consensus of others.
Asking crowds is asking for a consensus, an average. You are not average, you are exceptional and specific.
Yes, your time is precious, but you owe it to yourself to use that time to figure out who you are.
Perhaps, though, there is a use to phrasing questions like “I really enjoyed X, what else would you recommend?”. That gives you agency if directing your consumption of media, and art.
Exactly. And I’d say if someone bothers to post that question, they are clearly interested in it. So why not watch an episode or two and see if you like it? It’s not exactly a life-changing decision.
Personally, I’d much rather form my own opinion regarding shows, instead of relying on the opinion of others. I’ve hated shows that others loved and loved shows that others hated.
That’s unfortunate. Seems merely a tad gravely stupid to downvote one of 4 posts per day. I found a post on a breaking bad sublemmy asking why people liked it and it was also downvoted to hell. Internet’s gonna internet.
So he’s hoping to get these questions answered and your suggestion is he should make his own entire community to have those questions answered? Like… Does the user base instantly show up? Because I’m guessing he doesn’t want to wait a very long time to get these questions answered?
I stand corrected. Based on the post title I was thinking that he wanted his own rules. But reading his post again he might actually be trying to get answers.
