What is it with me and using the least popular thing. I’m sitting here on a Mac, writing Ruby, and posting on Kbin. All my favorite shows get cancelled. None of my favorite musicians are terribly well known. Every new car looks horrible to me.
I think if you want something to be successful, make it as unappealing to me as possible.
This sounds more like me than “hipster.” It’s not that I like things that then get popular, only to not like them. I like things that haven’t been and will never be popular, just because I like them. I’d love if people started enjoying the things I like because it would help them survive.
Anybody have something they hate they want me to buy so it can be destroyed?
Did you have a zune? Please tell me you had a zune :D
I myself gave a bit of a harbinger streak to me. Proud owner of a Nokia N-gage, I loved google Stadia and all my favorite snackflavors seem to disappear.
I’m almost scared to like new concepts or products and techniques, afraid of killing them off.

You might be what is called a “harbinger of failure”. A type of consumer that continuously and unwittingly buys failing products. https://scienceblog.com/479872/harbinger-of-failure-some-consumers-unerringly-buy-unpopular-products/
