    Because people are compelled to see a story through. How many times have you watched a bad series until the end because you were too invested?

        Yes. I agree with you, but I know many people who cling to shitty books, series, games in some weird obligation to finish. There is definitely a sense of accomplishement in seeing something through to the end and closing it forever, but I also don’t get it. A few weeks ago I stopped a movie after 15 minutes because it sucked - time is my most valuable commodity, and I refuse to waste it in ways that are not highly enjoyabe to me

        Corporate Stockholm Syndrome and a clear lack in media literacy.

        Honestly just gonna block the incessant Hollywood bootlickers that just mindlessly parrot business propaganda.
