There's also what I like to call the adversarial approach to media consumption. Instead of just watching something like a normal human being, a lot of people on the internet like to approach it as a competition between viewer and creator. Your goal is to dislike the thing, the creator's goal is to trick you into liking it. If you dislike things that others like, that just means you're better at the disliking things competition than them.

This is too true. I like liking things, damn it.
