I first became aware of it more than a decade ago, with people warning me that it's addictive and easy to waste time on. As a 20 something who spends most of his spare time on the internet, I'm probably among Tvtropes's primary audience, but it has never consumed me even slightly. Anyone else share this experience of being totally immune to the powers of Tvtropes.org?

I kinda like it, or at least the idea of it, but the site is also annoying to read. It's too many people trying to be clever and witty and trying to take the fun out of things.

I'm immune because it used to be great but then over time stupid people were adding useless irrelevant shit so it's not worth looking at anymore.

Someone linked me once like 10 years ago and it was the most annoying site I'd ever been on at the time.

I've only heard it's gotten worse since then.

I've never gotten the impression that people were trying to be witty, or that anyone was trying to take the fun out of anything

They try to hard to be cute with their phrases and terms and some things get way too over analyzed, but I guess...your mileage may vary.

Guess you're more in tune to their sense of humor than I am.

It got way worse when people just kept adding and adding just normal, generic story concepts and calling them tropes. It seems like the site admins have been making an effort to limit/delete a lot of the entries, which is good.
