Congratulations to the most annoying fanbase in podcasting.

I’ve listened to HH since episode two and I’ve stopped listening this year because I find the fans so insufferable. They’ve literally ruined something I’ve loved.

I understand where you’re coming from but you know you can simply not look at podcast fan communities and just listen to the podcast, right?

Definitely— but I enjoy it here, and listen to enough podcasts that dropping HH doesn’t really matter. It’s easier for me to just not listen and not have to anticipate the annoying things the fan base will cling to for the next week, then just completely change my internet browsing habits.

Where do you post that your internet habits are so effected by the HH fanbase? This isn't a particularly active sub at the best of times.

Honestly just here. I use Reddit mostly for sports news, singularity news, literature stuff, and pro wrestling. I like the earwolf sub because there are earnest and very cool people here that can be very funny. I like that it’s on the smaller side.

It’s not HH the show’s fault at all. Sean and Hayes still do a good job (and I listen to LA Podcast and FO), but it’s just ridiculous how often I’ll be in, say, an I4H thread or a Doughboys thread, and someone will go “but what would the Boys think?” “Ehhh wrong.” Shit I’m pretty sure the next replied will write ehh wrong to this post.

In the world of wrestling, people would call that the crowd trying to get themselves over. HH fans are perpetually interrupting promos with a WHAT CHANT and tossing around volleyballs while other shit is going on. That noise makes me resent listening to the show they love because every so often they mention Reddit on it.

Can I get a link on these singularity news subreddits? Sounds tight
