Do you envy people who liked anime you didn't?

I'm known for making a ton of threads asking people why they liked certain anime, or if I "watched certain anime wrong".
This stems from a feeling of seeing them talking about anime I disliked and thinking "Damn, I wish I could relate".
Might be a bit of survivorship bias, but I notice this happens more with anime I didn't like, rather than people complementing anime I liked for things I didn't notice, so there might be a pattern.

I think about that from time to time, but it was reading those tweets recently that brought it all over again, because I have the opposite opinion about the two anime mentioned, thinking that they have bad pacing and waste a ton of time doing nothing. There's also a YouTube channel I'm subbed to that's making a series (That I haven't watched yet) on Turn A Gundam, and one of the video titles is how it has "An impeccable pacing".

Again, I can't help but think "Damn, I wish I could see what those people do".
