It’s not a new trend, and its name has been around for a while, but recently a concept has emerged “I hate watching” It has reached a terrifying new level that, in a just world, would bring the trend to an abrupt end. Hate watching describes the act of watching a show or movie with the intention of making fun of it later, usually on social media, or even in that group chat you asked to be erased after you die.

The problem is that a lot of people have decided to hate watching Ryan Murphy’s new legal drama, Everything is fairThey helped the Kim Kardashian series become the most-watched new scripted series on Hulu. He overcame Alien Earth With 3.2 million views, and now the show has already been renewed for a second season, which is considered by critics and those who have already watched it to be one of the worst shows of all time.

Don’t watch at all because hate watching has made Kim Kardashian a star on the network.

However, active consumption showing that you truly despise it, just to be an informed hater, is counterproductive not only to your mental health but also because it is still viewed as a point of view for the algorithms that control our lives.
