I think the comment provided value. I was about to start watching it but now I won't and I don't really care why they think that. The fact that someone thinks it's so overrated that they need to comment on it is enough.

There will never be 100% consensus on which content is worth watching on any topic, does that mean that you never consider watching anything?

That would be great. My ever-expanding backlog gives me anxiety so I'm always looking for an escape hatch. A small comment like that is enough to give me peace and lose the FOMO.

This leads to exactly the kinds of asymmetry that trolls take advantage of, basically a form of Brandolini's Law[0].

Hmmm... feeding your body is overrated, will you stop eating now? ;)

Not a bad idea. I fast regularly and it makes me feel great.

I have been trying period long term fasting, and tbh once you get used to it, it's quite pleasant.
