I personally find jump scares very scary and unpleasant

I mean, I find them unpleasant, but having my startle reflex triggered is a very different thing from actual fear.

Yeah, jump scares get me even when I know they're coming (they're quite obvious a lot of the time) or when I've seen the movie before. But I also get jump scared by colleagues coming up to my desk at work, lol.

I was hanging out with some friend a couple months ago watching terrible horror movies, and I didn't get scared by anything in the actual movies, but I did jump about 5 feet in the air when their dog barked unexpectedly.

I have literally jump-scared my wife more than once by just standing in the hall.

Yeah, same. I'm never more scared during a horror movie than the instant of a jump scare, but it's just way too much, too intense--like being electrocuted with fright.

That's not to say I think jump scares are excellent story-telling. They can be good if handled deftly, but are more often used like a cheat code to make the movie scarier. I'm generally with OP on wishing for fewer jump scares; I just can't relate to the idea that they're not scary. Just because they're a cheap scare doesn't mean they're not scary.
