It's like having someone wave their hand in your face constantly, everywhere you go, when you've told them to stop. At that point it's not even the content itself, it's that it's preventing you from seeing the content you actually want.

For example, I tried to watch Arrested Development and didn't care for it at all (blasphemy!), but I see little enough of it that when it shows up on my tumblr or I'm at a party and the conversation turns to it, I don't care. However, I also didn't enjoy TFIOS, but that I see everywhere. I've voiced my dislike, yet I still hear about it from my friends on a daily basis. It's all over my Twitter and my Facebook and everyone refuses to tag it on tumblr. Every time I hear about it, I'm reminded of my dislike, and if someone is praising it extensively, it's a buzzkill. Repeated exposure to that kind of annoyance has created a conditioned angry response.

That still doesn't make any sense to me. I see fandoms I'm not interested in on Tumblr all the time. It takes me two seconds to scroll past a post that doesn't interest me.

How is it preventing you from seeing what you actually want? The stuff you're interested in is still going to be there, it's not like those fandoms wipe everything else out of existence.

You're just further solidifying my belief that it's a "how dare other people like something I don't" issue.

da

It's not a "how dare other people like something I don't" issue, it's that you don't want to hear about it because you don't care about it. It's being constantly bombarded with something.

Two seconds adds up and it gets more aggravating if those posts are self-congratulatory and imply that you don't have taste if you don't like that fandom. It isn't preventing you from seeing what you like, but it is delaying you. I particularly hate hijacked posts or posts with 15+ gifs that still load when you've scrolled away from them and keep pushing the content you're trying to look at down.

there's a very easy way to avoid seeing things you don't want to look at on tumblr: just track the tags you're interested in and only look at those.

you're welcome.

Re: OP

[(Anonymous)]

Thank you! It's appreciated.

Tracking tags won't solve that problem since anyone can use those tage.

And I do like following people even if we don't have opinions that are 100% in agreement.

Re: OP

Have you ever had a friend or family member who just keeps talking about the minutiae of their job, even though it's all stuff that only someone who works there would understand or care about? Have you ever had a friend or family member who just keeps telling the same story or joke over, and over, and over again?

That's what it's like. It's less "how dare other people like something I don't" and more getting bored, and then annoyed, because someone keeps repeating themselves.

Re: OP

[(Anonymous)]

That's a really good explanation of it.

Re: OP

[(Anonymous)]

Yes, and when that happens I know to just tune it out or try to shift the topic of discussion. It's mildly exasperating at most but not a big deal.
