take a look at this list

what you just described there is in it, any most likely a lot of other things you can relate to

Disregard these nerds.
It's all meme magic.
>>144901423
if it's a new popular anime, it's pretty logical
>>144901423
It's the opposite for me. I keep seeing references to an anime all over the internet and when I finally watch it everyone has moved to the next thing and stopped talking about it

Solipsism
You started paying attention to its existence.
>>144902401
>>144901423
It's simple, you started watching it because it got popular. Other people who are unable to form their own opinions also tend tend to choose popularity as a factor in deciding whether they should pick something up or not, so the only way to fix this is by stopping that.
