Yes and even more so in these days because popularity wanes too quickly.

I mean, I'm fine with getting into something after it's no longer popular, and I'm fine, like, riding the wave of popularity if something I already like gets popular.

but something being popular, for some reason, is just an extreme turn-off to me. even if it's something I know I'd probably like otherwise.

Exactly why I'm into Fluffy Pony.

I have a friend who was super into the Amazing Digital Circus for the first few episodes, but after it got insanely popular he decided it had gotten bad because of the fans' influence.
I didn't have the heart to tell him the entire plot was planned out from the beginning.
