I hate bad TV shows getting renewed while good TV shows (in my book) gets canceled.
I have a theory that "drama" shows, in particular, start out being plot-driven, and the writers strive to come up with a good plot each time.
After about 1-3 seasons, the plot "well" starts to run dry, and, if the show becomes successful, the actors want (demand) more screen time and attention, along with more money (and their agents strive to achieve it for them, of course). That is when the quality falls off.
For me, character-driven shows are never as good or interesting, particularly in the long run, because the plot is far more important, in my opinion.
This is not to say that I do not appreciate good acting, on the contrary, but the acting should support the plot, not vice-versa.
i hate auction snipers
Sniping is the way of the world for online auctions today. That is how the majority of serious buyers operate.
To me, that is like going mountain hiking wearing rubber flip-flops and complaining about other hikers wearing good shoes.
Another analogy I like is playing basketball. If the rules changed and you could just start grabbing the ball and running with it, would you stand a chance of winning if you continued to dribble, just because you thought that the traditional way was still "right"?
You are not helping yourself by trying to be a "purist"
