There's a trait I hate in TV shows, but which is hard to filter against when browsing because I don't have a name for it: basically, I hate when it's very obvious a bad thing is going to happen to the characters, and they are walking into the trap that you as the viewer can tell is coming, but they don't know it and you're just watching them and know it will come.
I don't mind when bad things happen to characters, even very bad things, as long as it wasn't obvious and stretched out for a while.
(Another thing I hate in TV is cringe. I suspect these preferences may be correlated, but I can't exactly put my finger on why).
I think a lot of readers would be shocked how few people read their favorite websites/newsletters.
This is partly just a factor of how many people love to write, and will absolutely do it for free. (It's getting edited your have to pay people for).
One upshot of this is that if you read something you like and are willing to spend 1 min looking up the writer's email address to send them a note, you will probably make them very happy.
I'd guess as a rule of thumb, if a writer's website has their email address listed (instead of making you go through an agent or whatever), they are un-famous enough that they probably still enjoy receiving emails.
