Have you ever lost interest in something you really liked cause you discovered many others liked it as well?

Question

When it lost it's "uniqueness" you lost your interest. Ever have this happen to you? What did you do?

Answer 1

Corona beer. 5 years ago, nobody was drinking it in England. Then I went back to London last year and all the poncey people were drinking it in the pubs. It put me right off. I had a pint instead.

Answer 2

Yes, Rock climbing, but it wasn't as simple as losing uniqueness. The activity became so popular that the places I would go became so crowded that it was actually a real head ache.
Plus with that many new comers to it there came trash too.
I mean garbage type trash, litter, climbers have always kept things the way they found them.

In fact those in the sport don't even like to see a bolt in the rock. But sometimes you come across them.

The thrill seekers also wind up getting themselves in trouble and it has started to give the sport a bad reputation as being dangerous.

This is not true, the knuckleheads who don't take the time to learn are the danger and not the sport.

i suppose this something you mean are hobby or activities, then why should you lost interest because the more people know/involve the better you can learn n share from them, find out how others look at thing from different angle/perspective, you can have discussion, analysis n evaluate to make it more interesting, better, to improve n come up with better ideal ! Even the so call something by you is somebody, so what ? take it as a challenge to win him/her over, to show what you are ca-able of n be proud of the result !

Answer 4

i've never "lost interest", i've just been more careful about what i say about it. for example. my favorite band in the entire world is AC/DC, has been since i discovered rock music. but due to its popularity among posers, simply because its ac/dc and they think thats cool, and its easy to get tshirts with their name on it, i don't advertise that i like them, because then people think i'm just a poser. its not so much that other people like them, its that i don't want people to think i like them just because everyone else claims to. therefore i don't readily volenteer the information.

and if its something that i enjoyed before the mass discovered it, i just figure hey, i'm that much smarter, i've been enjoying it for longer, like i said, i'll keep liking it, but maybe not advertise it so much for the reasons above.

good question
