" Most people I know who bought one replaced it within two years . "
Just because something is popular doesn’t mean everyone is supposed to like it. So to find out what popular things people hate, weaskedtheBuzzFeed Communitytheir thoughts, and boy, did they deliver. Here’s what they said below.
1.“I bought a Stanley cup (not my first) because my dad’s name is Stanley. I debated it a long time ago. I liked it for about a week. It leaks, and while it keeps drinks cold, it’s not worth the money or the hype. Call me old, but I love my Hydro Flask.”
2.“Influencers who just want you to buy crap you don’t need. Websites are constantly trying to tell you what to buy and why you need it. Young people who should be saving their money or having traveling experiences are being conned into buying really expensive items to be cool.”

3.“Trump?”
4.“I feel like the Too Fast, Too Stupid movies glamorized idiotic driving that endangers other people. Paul wannabes: No one else wants to be around you when you drive 110 miles an hour and zip recklessly around other cars in traffic. You are another reason why our car insurance rates are so jacked up.”

5.“Nepotism in Hollywood has destroyed original or creative storytelling. We are getting reboots or remakes or live actions because script writing, directing, and show-running have been oversaturated with nepo babies who aren’t actually that good at what they are supposed to do. Hollywood is literally hamstringing cinematic innovation and storytelling as an art because of the incestuous nature of the industry nowadays. That’s why originality is so wildly novel. It’s easier to write a smash hit book and sell the rights than to try to become a screenwriter or director.”
6.“Smart fridges. Every single person I know (so this is anecdotal, I’m aware, and if this doesn’t apply to you, I love that for you) HAAAATES theirs. The ice maker sucks/leaks/stops working, the amount of technology sucks, and they break down repeatedly. Most people I know who bought one replaced it within two years with one that has a standard ice maker/water dispenser and have never looked back. (And at least those appliances can usually be fixed at home!) I will never ever own one.”

7.“I don’t like Taylor Swift’s music. I appreciate that she is obviously a smart lady. She writes her own songs, sings, and plays, and from what I hear, puts on an amazing concert. She has an entrepreneurial spirit that a lot of women should emulate. However, her overexposure has made me dislike ‘Taylor Swift’ the machine. I don’t know the lady to dislike her personally. I do not like her music, country or pop.”
8.“AI. It’s taking away jobs from skilled, creative people and creating fake content that we don’t need.”

9.“Starbucks hot coffee tastes like butt. I treat myself once in a while to a cold drink. They’re way too expensive to be buying all the time.”
10.“I don’t understand Twitter or how it works lol it’s so confusing.”
— lumpyflamingo
11.“Cable TV. I’ve been complaining ever since I saw the first cable commercial in the ’70s. I even remember what it was for, a local motorcycle shop. I was paying to watch the commercial that the advertiser was also paying for. TV had always been free, and when Cable TV took off, the big attraction to pay for cable was no commercials.”
12.“I can’t stand TikTok.”
— KMB
" Yeah , I ’ve really tried to get into it , but it ’s just never clicked with me . I think there are a few very clever creator out there , but you have to separate through SO much shit to really regain anything good . It ’s just not worth the time , imo . "

13.And finally, “Headlights. IT MAKES IT WORSE WHEN YOU’RE JUST PARKED WITH THEM BLARING AT YOU SO YOU CAN’T SEE ANYTHING AROUND THEM (big in residential areas).”
