hatewatch
Watching a TV show or movie that you hate because you hate it.
Usage note: hatewatching is distinct from enjoying a guilty pleasure, wherein you like something despite its obvious badness. A hatewatched show is one the viewer genuinely despises but cannot stop watching. This could be because it is so "important" they feel they have to, because it has enough promise that they hope it gets better, because it's so well-crafted in it's terribleness that the badness itself is noteworthy, or because they enjoy the adrenaline that pure revulsion can bring. Whatever the reason, the hatewatcher can't look away from the trainwreck.

Following someone on social media closely although you don't like them. Could be for many reasons:
- A frenemy laying low, acting normal
- Collecting tea to gossip/talk shit
- Finding (reaching) for justification to not like them
- Jealous of them so you study everything about them
- Scared of them so you pay attention to their schedule and friends to avoid them
- Evil so you pay attention to their schedule and friends to plot something manipulative
- Making sure they're not talking shit because you have a chip on your shoulder
- Hoping for schadenfreude
For whatever reason, know thy enemy. "Keep your friends close but your enemies closer."

Lina used to react to my stories but now she just hatewatches.
I don't even know why she requested to follow me. I think she just wants to hatewatch.

Grindset
The grindset is a contemporary ideology of self-exploitation disguised as strength, deeply tied to the aesthetics of the “sigma male” and to new digital forms of patriarchy. It promotes the idea that human worth depends on productivity, economic success, absolute emotional control, and the ability to work endlessly, turning vulnerability, rest, community, and tenderness into signs of weakness. Beneath its rhetoric of discipline and power often lies a profound inability to relate healthily to pain, fragility, and human interdependence.
“That’s the grindset, brother. While weak men sleep and complain, sigma males stay disciplined, work in silence, suppress emotions, and build power while everyone else wastes time chasing comfort.”
