- “Localized” dishes that insults the origin of the dish by using stupid ingredients. But well, if that were to disappear, many YouTubers would lose their bread and butter.
- Unskippable 20+second ads in YouTube. I know Google needs the revenue, but man, at least do not allow these long-ass ads without the ease of skipping, especially if it’s a 2-in-a-row show. There’s an option, yeah, just refresh after 6 seconds hoping they allow in, but that still sucks.
- “Asian size” measurement. I’m Asian, but this sucks. Garment makers should at least print the “international size” with the “Asian size”, that should be standard. It’s annoying to buy an XL shirt only to find later that it really was an L.
- The type of people that complain about games that they have zero skin in. For example: those people that come into game forums and subreddits complaining about a game’s mechanics or deep-in-the-game plot points, but when pressed if they actually bought/played the game to validate their gripes, many say no. Fuck off to those people. Probably watched a dude play the game on Twitch and deluded themselves that they also played the game.
- Hotels and resorts with barely-functional showers.
- Those people who MTL an untranslated doujin to barely passable English. Sucks to see a half-assed effort. Either do a full-ass job or leave it as is.
- Politicians putting posters up before the actual campaign season. Especially in PH.
- The “AI bogeyman” that the news media effectively made manifest by stoking people’s fears.
- Speaking of news media, I hope they STOP reposting their news articles a day or two after posting it. It’s just annoying. I saw this problem in its very malignant form in old Twitter, where many publications repost days-old articles many times over the week, and when X moved to paid API, I was very glad to see that problem disappear within months. In Facebook though, it is a problem since… 2016-ish? Like this one:
- Selling “sweet corn” that has been steamed so long that all the sweetness got drained out should be reprimanded.
- Kotaku. Definitely needs to go.
- Taxis that deliberately skimp on aircon.
- Tony Khan as the main booker in AEW. Guys, Vince is a sex pest but there’s no denying he booked generally well, for all his detestable flaws and faults. Tony might know how to run a business but it’s clear he is no competent creative force. It is clear that the quality of his roster is doing the heavy lifting here. He books for the “sickos” but is anyone within distance to his ear telling him that “sickos” are a minority?
- Overpolicing in sports just to satisfy “advertisers”. If your sports product is popular, they’ll come regardless if the players cuss like a sailor or do middle fingers on camera. I mean, WWF in the Attitude era was raunchy and violent, but ads kept coming because of Stone Cold and The Rock. Yeah, more advertisers came during their “PG era”, but it’s like the difference between 100 and 120, and WWE had John Cena. Who does NBA have after Steph, KD and LeBron retires? They have stars, but no superstars save for those three.
- Cheap fragile Chinese bootleg products. Those are just sad to see. If they’ll imitate explicitly and blatantly, at least do a good job at it.
- Meta pushing their AI hard on all their products should be rethought. Ironically, X/Twitter does a better job at it. Their AI isn’t “in your face” and repetitive. Meta is pushing AI in Facebook so hard and very in-your-face forcefully and unnecessarily, but it clearly seems that their AI wasn’t ready for most multilingual shit yet. For example:
- Movie and game trailers that spoil things by showing ending-level scenes.
- Butter popcorn. Just the purely butter flavor.
- Caricatures that has completely no resemblance to the person being portrayed.
- Fat policemen. Definitely has to be changed with, you know, physically-fit ones.
- Overly sweet peanut brittle. I love peanut brittle but that is diabetes in disc form.
- Flimsy marathon race kit bags.
