firecatSomeone on a fandom community commented that they spend hours maintaining their tbr/tbw lists and then would rather consume something they've already consumed than something new that's actually on one of the lists. That caused me to write the following comment.
Those of us who enjoy the hobby of maintaining lists need to step out of the shadows and proclaim that we love what we do. Maintaining lists is incredibly soothing! Nothing else gives you quite the same sense that you have created peace and order in this one little corner of the multiverse. There's no reason to hide where the real joy is and pretend that you're only doing it to facilitate actually reading/watching new things. We need a name for our hobby. Maybe Guardians Against Entropy.
