Why Critics Get Obsessed With Online Creators!

In this episode, Dawn and Eli explore what happens when legitimate online criticism crosses the line into fixation and obsession. They discuss why some critics repeatedly watch creators they claim to dislike, and whether hate-watching can become its own kind of negative parasocial relationship. They also examine how views, comments, donations, subscriptions, and audience expectations can encourage critics to keep focusing on the same person. The conversation looks at how negative online communities can reinforce one another until even ordinary behavior is interpreted through a hostile lens. In the second half of the show, Dawn and Eli break down three recurring ideas from Reddit discussions, including audience-driven fixation, group reinforcement, and critics documenting nearly everything a creator does. Ultimately, they ask the bigger question: when does commentary stop being criticism and start becoming obsession?
