What is something you never understood the hype for?

There no way you're actively using 6 monitors at the same time. How many of this are just storing windows you don't look at for an hour at a time.
It's a whole lot faster to turn my head to check on a process than to Alt-Tab 30 times hoping I don't miss the window I'm looking for.
Though 6 monitors seems a bit nuts to me, but I don't know what he's doing.
I can use 3 when I have some long-running tasks, or need to RDP into multiple systems. It's just easier than using a tabbed remote tool like mRemote.

Same LMAO they're neat but I've always been so meh about them. And there's not even like new ones, it's always the same versions over and over again
And there's not even like new ones, it's always the same versions over and over again
That's the worst part for me, there are thousands upon thousands of superheroes to make movies about, but it's always about the same ones. And you know what the sad part is? That every once in a while we get a different superhero with a cool movie/TV show and it either ends up becoming overused like Batman/Superman (e.g. Spider-Man, or Iron man) or it's completely dropped and forgotten (e.g. Jessica Jones, or Spawn)

Mobile UI. It sucks. Yet the majority of people online are now connecting from it, and everything wants to be an app.

In-N-Out. Tried it. It's OK.
The first time I had In-N-Out was the first thing I ate after Basic Training, so I remember it being the best thing I'd had in months.

Vtubers. I get the cute anime girl thing and I like fan art of them as I do other anime. But the models move wayyyyyy to exaggerated. It hits uncanny valley for me.
Also I don't get the parasocial relationship of chatting in a huge room of other followers. The chat is scrolling by at a hundred miles an hour and you're competing with everyone else for their attention.
Supposedly vtubers need to make very exaggerated facial expressions irl in order to make sure the software picks it up and translates it onto the model, which is sometimes unsettling to people when they get in the habit of doing that normally.

It's been 30 minutes: time to reboot Batman again! Let's spend half the runtime of the movie rehashing his origin story just in case there might somehow still be one single person on Earth who doesn't know what Batman's deal is.
I love how the new Superman movie covered that in the first 20 seconds and then jumped in the action.
Holy shit I loved that movie.

Web3. Doesn't make sense. The internet is already supposed to be decentralised.

Red Hot Chili Peppers is the most 5/10 band in history.

It's fun seeing someone do something with Incredible skill /or great athleticism. Doesn't need to be sport per se performance art like acrobatics or artistry e.g. Bob Ross have similar aspects.
Some sports I like to watch I have personally partaken in, in that way I can more appreciate the skill needed by the professionals.
Some sports I don't know at all but I like to figure out the rules by watching and discovering what makes a great play (American Football is in that category for me).

Nirvana.
The band.I missed the grunge movement in its peak but I got into Pearl Jam and Soundgarden. Just couldn’t get into Nirvana beyond a few songs that I do like. Musically, I feel like both Pearl Jam and Soundgarden dwarf Nirvana.
When an artist is the first to inspire a movement, history tends to look back on them differently. There's a related trope that covers this phenomenon - "Seinfeld is Unfunny." From that page:
There are certain works that you can safely assume most people have enjoyed. These shows were considered fantastic when they were released. Now, however, these have a Hype Backlash curse on them. Whenever we watch them, we'll cry, "That is so old" or "That is so overdone".
The sad irony? It wasn't old or overdone when they did it, because they were the first ones to do it. But the things it created were so brilliant and popular, they became woven into the fabric of that work's niche. They ended up being taken for granted, copied, and endlessly repeated. Although they often began by saying something new, they in turn became the new status quo.
Nirvana is one of the artists mentioned under the "Music" examples on that same page. The point is, they were groundbreaking when they came out, but they changed the music scene so much and have inspired so many similar artists that their original work has become overshadowed by the successors they helped create.
Your experience is common and it's okay not to enjoy their music, but the key to remember is that without Nirvana helping to pave the way, other grunge bands may not have risen to the popular level they reached.

"Reality TV". Could anythjng be more contrived yet obviously "make it up as you go along"?
I can't help but wonder how much the popularity of reality TV led us to where we are now. I don't just mean how the US president used to have his own stupid show, but how many people grew up thinking that "watching people create drama" is peak entertainment.
The same era saw the decline and demise of a number of educational channels and shows. Is it a coincidence? I don't know. All I know is there are lots of adults who grew up watching "reality" shows who now think politics are just a game to "win" and that when their opponents are upset, it's amusing. It's like the concept of empathy or working together don't even enter their minds. Everything is just for entertainment, no matter how serious it is or how many innocent people get screwed over by it.

This and 24-hour “news entertainment” are fully responsible for society’s woes, far as I can tell.

I will also never understand the fascination with streaming. Just play the game, nerd.
I only follow a handful of streamers, I really don't care what games they play. What's important to me is that they're entertaining, not too loud like 90% of U.S streamers.
I especially like streamers who play with their friends, I find solo streamers boring and compensate by being loud and shouting all the time.
