The Hate-Watcher

How to complete The Hate-Watcher

Hate-watching feels like righteous attention, but it trains recommendation systems to serve you more of what enrages you and hands the creator the exact engagement they profit from. Quitting reclaims hours and lowers your daily baseline of irritation.

1. Name the specific creator, channel, or outlet you keep returning to out of spite.
2. Unsubscribe and use 'not interested' or 'don't recommend channel' so the feed stops surfacing them.
3. Block or mute the account and related keywords so screenshots and reaction clips can't pull you back.
4. When the urge to check what they said hits, write down the trigger instead of opening the app.
5. Fill the empty slot with one creator you actually respect on the same topic.

Tips

• Reaction and drama channels relink you to the source, so mute those too.
• Clearing your watch history speeds up how fast the algorithm forgets them.

What counts as done

Two weeks pass without you opening, searching, or 'just checking' the source you used to rage at.
