YouTube in general taking over all answers on the web. I'd much rather just read the answer than have to go through a 10 min video.
But on that topic...
- Watch to the end
- Over energetic "what's up youtube! Welcome back"
- Before we get to the video...

I respect the few YouTube folks out there that write a blog post (on their own website!) for each video. The text based web has always been the ultimate reference.
"Wait for it . . . "
No.
"Wait till the end" tells me to open the progress bar and jump straight to the end

Gatekeeping. Anyone who tells you that "that's not how it's done" or " we don't do it that way" or otherwise cramps your style just because they do it differently, or better, or with more expensive tools or materials, is an arse.
I have been put off so many hobbies because other people just have to suck the enjoyment out of it. Now that I am older and more sure of myself, I tend not to join the communities related to my hobbies because people are dicks; I just do what I enjoy, how I enjoy it.
See, as a welder turned machinist, I can confidently say that there ARE wrong ways to accomplish your goals, and I've tried most of them.
Your kind of thinking is exactly what happened to Stockton Rush and his passengers. It even started put as a hobby that this guy turned into a business, just doing what hey enjoyed, the way he enjoyed it.
Sometimes gatekeeping exists for a very, very good reason.
Chesterton's Fence applies to some gatekeeping. Not all, but for life-safety thegatekeeping tends to be for sadly good reason.
This is the kind of thing that ruins ham radio for me, and I think a big part of why a lot of people who are interested in HF band stay on CB radio and work outlaw stations instead. The FCC mostly turns a blind eye to those who aren't causing interference, and you don't have to listen to angry 300 year old sad hams tell you all the silly things they believe you're doing wrong.
_ (they're also usually wrong because they're usually ignoring some change in regulation or technology)_

Ehh, there are right and wrong ways. Does your post make sense in response to "please do not reboot the server with RAID card by pulling out the power cable while it's running"?

Stupid fat hobbit!
In a fiction movie or book, when a character says, "you can't make this stuff up."
Breaks the immersion for me immediately.

A handful of people. That’s why we can’t have nice things, because a handful of people always have to ruin it for everyone else.
Comments that have any tell the commentor didn't even open the article theyre commenting on. It ruins any assumed credibility of the content in their comment.

When fan writing gets too edgy compared to its inspiration.
I played Pokemon Unbound, a widely-lauded ROM hack, the other week. Got to the first gym, a grass type one. Lo and behold, the gym leader is named Mirskle and he keeps it "foggy" inside his gym from "incense." He speaks like a total stoner and looks like this:
Got bombarded by an obnoxious number of weed jokes. Sorry, I just can't.
lol, this is awesome.
Just beat that gym yesterday and I enjoyed it, to each their own
Politics inserted into places and times nobody was talking about it.
Or people ascribing a political or ideological context to something that doesn't really have anything to do with it.
"This movie is too political correct" Just because Finn was black.
"This anime isn't feminist enough"
"Rimworld is sexist"
True, that's the other side of it. It's like I'm literally not allowed to take a break. I have to stay outraged and screaming 24x7.
I wish films could have gay characters without people considering it "political". The only reason the existence of gay people is "political" is because someone thinks they shouldn't have rights. Gay relationships in film should just be a normal, unremarkable, thing the same as heterosexual romance
In fiction:
People who keep calling someone's name who is unresponsive (either unconscious or walking away). You've said their name six times now. They either need car, or you need to say something different.
Problems that could have been easily solved by communication, but the characters did something like: "I can explain!" Instead of just explaining.
"I need to tell you something extremely important, it will only take 3 sentences to cover the gist of it. However, instead of leaving it on this voicemail to ensure you'll get it, I'll instead tell you to ring me back at which point I will die/be killed"
elitism, holier-than-thou behaviors, lack of collaboration, mandatory competition.
Game unsupported by Proton / Unoptimized Game
Memory leaks in games (VrChat and Marvel Rivals activates OOM Killer after some time).
Remaking a movie or retelling a story or changing a political event or casting an unbelievable caste just because it fits today's politically correct views.
This thing happened so stop pretending it didn't or your historical piece is now fantasy or now it's completely unbelievable.
Stop remaking movies and changing the tone or message. Here's a novel idea for you film makers, you can make a new movie with a similar plot but with a different name, now we won't be going in with raised expectations.

Profanity. I was brought up in a household where discussion was encouraged. Profanity was seen as the inability to form good arguments. I guess it was ingrained in me.

Pretty vague question
How about people who complain about every single thing. Movie trailer doesn't give much information? "Well, how can I know if I wanna see it if I don't know anything about it?" Movie trailer gives a lot of information? "What's the point in seeing it now that the trailer gave away the whole plot?"
