How about not auto-assuming what I meant with my saying "based on what I read," as if I haven't ever watched or caught clips here and there.
When I say "based on what I read," I mean episode recaps. Never, in soaps and other media, have I let the opinions of others impact what I do or do not watch. I made the decision to stop watching The Bold and the Beautiful when COVID hit in 2020 ⏤ and I usually put it on hiatus as I find it tedious to watch ⏤ and have seen clips here and there, and I still stand by my opinion of the soap as a whole. My frustration with the soap runs deep and will continue to run deep. And I get it, you're a fan of this soap and a die-hard fan of a certain couple on that soap, so I won't go into details of how I feel of them, but just know: someone saying something "sucks" would not mean I wouldn't watch, especially when they wouldn't know my likes/dislikes.
