I hate planes.
Just got off one, actually, I went from Sydney to Perth, and I remembered how much I hate them. Long ones, especially. I went on JetStar, too, so no entertainment, the flight was consistently squishy, you couldn't even PAY FOR WI-FI!!
I mostly just played clangen on my computer or watched some of The Owl House. But, I suppose it wasn't that bad, because, I've been on 24-hour flights (It's two separate flights, one seven hours, the other 17 hours.) It was from Sydney to Ireland, and oh boy, it was HELL.
First thing, my sister feels nauseous resulting in her getting sick. Then, I have to sit the opposite side of her, because I cannot see vomit otherwise, I'll be sick. That was a seventeen-hour flight. Great. The next one wasn't bad, really. But when we were coming back from Ireland, it was better/worse. Me and my father were in separate rows from my mother and sister, which was actual heaven, considering they were both vomiting (I feel bad, of course) and since I suffer from a syndrome, I take sleeping tablets, which I feel asleep for a good nine hours. (On the way back, it was a fourteen- and ten-hour flight.) So I feel asleep three hours into the fourteen-hour flight, and I slept for a good 9 hours. The previous flight was okay, as well, I guess. I mostly just watched movies and such. So, I really enjoyed that. It was upsetting, that my father awoke me for some food that I didn't even eat after sleeping for nine hours, although I'm positive I could have gone for more.

Windows 11 prompts. I got one just now. "Schedule update" and "Begin updating procedure" were the top two picks at the very center of the screen. At the very bottom left, in very tiny writing, was, "Decline upgrade for now".

… I hate my work ): I don’t hate working and I don’t even hate the type of job that I do… but I hate everything about my work. And I’m tired of it. And I need a change. Better than me - I hate working in general

Another one: YouTubers eating, drinking, or even burping on camera. Also, sponsorships in the middle of videos; either do it at the very beginning or at the very end!

Unfortunately telemetry data has long since proven that if the sponsorship is at the beginning of a video, people tune out and leave, and most people are not likely going to watch until the very end, especially if there's a sponsorship placed in. Monetarily, it makes the most amount of sense to slip in the sponsorships at the very middle of the video, usually in-between or before an exciting scene. Now personally, selfishly, I don't like slotted in sponsorships for a similar reason why I don't like content creators asking their viewers to subscribe 4-5 times in a video, but I perfectly understand why it's done. They have to make a living somehow.

Oh I definitely agree, personally I think that asking your viewers to subscribe, showcasing that only x percentage of them are subscribed, plugging your social media, merch store, Patreon, asking people to like and hit that bell, followed by an ad and then a sponsor, and then doing it all over again multiple times (except maybe the sponsor) kind of ruins a video. I stopped watching a content creator after they said they made sure to continue asking for subscriptions every 10 minutes during their livestreams. For another as of late, their gaming videos are basically just a gigantic advertisement. They have a cute little mascot that pulls cards on the videos every 30-40 seconds that vary from their Twitter/X or Patreon links to a segway into their sponsor (usually Raid Shadow Legends), and the content creator plays dumb by going, "Hmm, I wonder what that says? Can you read it out for me?" I stopped watching after they made that transition.
But, like ads themselves, they are a necessary evil, I'm afraid.
I do value integrity though, like content creators who only accept sponsors for products they'd use themselves.

while we're on the topic of sponsorships, I can't think of a single product commonly sponsored by youtubers that's actually good. they're always either poor quality, overpriced, outright scams, or in some cases potentially dangerous

Terraria). The vast majority I see though are VPN's, Grammarly, Squarespace, and mobile games like Raid Shadow Legends. Occasionally a brand of ear buds or shoes are thrown in there.

Even though if they are promoting and facing a product they are literally being complicit in scamming and hurting their viewer base and they are totally okay with that because they don't care about you they want to make money off of you. Which is scummy as hell. Why would you even want to become a face of a product like that?

Another one to add, the TikTok dating advice trend. I'm not in the dating landscape, so it doesn't affect me, but their purpose is to sow mistrust and paranoia. Some have good points, others are like, "If your partner doesn't text you back within half an hour, they're definitely cheating."
I also have a bone to pick with the term "microcheating", or at least most of its use cases. If your partner finds other people attractive outside your relationship, that's not microcheating honey, that's just straight up cheating.

The original NFT's.
Also, NFT's, hate them.

The noble title and star things at least seem to be pretty harmless all things considered, save for the lack of transparency that these are in indeed gag gifts (both on the part of the company as well as on the whoever is sponsoring them, which is certainly a problem itself, but that's besides the point). It's just spending your money on a piece of paper. NFTs however are apparently bad for the environment, so I consider them far worse.
