Are you even having fun getting cherries?

I see posts all the time with questions like "how painful is this game to cherry" and "which game was the worst to cherry?" and "I do not look forward to cherry this game"

Why even bother? Isn't this just a compulsory addiction if you don't even enjoy it?

"Time wasted doing something you enjoy is not wasted."

But wasting time by doing something you hate... what can you possibly gain from that?

Playing games shouldn't be painful or frustrating. I got gold carts from the games I truly enjoyed and I accidentally cherried Mortol because it's my favorite game.

I hope you all stay healthy and continue to enjoy playing these games.

I'm not saying you should stop, I only wish to understand. Because this completionist mindset is so foreign to me.
