Debating/arguing politics. Like to the point where they steer literally every conversation into politics, specifically around people that they know don’t agree with their views. It’s exhausting to be around someone who’s like that 24/7
People are modeling themselves after YouTube streamers. For instance, I really enjoy Charlotte Dobre and her content, but when fans start using lingo like “Potato Queen” and “besties,” it screams red flag. Or when it’s the “gotcha” streamers, and their fans start copying their behavior just for the views—yeah, total red flag.
“Debating for fun”, especially if it’s always about being right, not learning. It sounds smart on the surface, but often masks ego, control issues, or a lack of emotional intelligence. If every convo turns into a courtroom, run lol.
When they have social media as a hobby. I mean like “gets mad at you for eating before they can take and retake the perfect pic for instagram multiple times” kind of social media

Is it bad if I say “Reality TV”?
I’ve mostly found that the people who list that as one of their hobbies don’t do much else besides work and go out drinking on weekends.
Any kind of social media influencer shit.
Asking the same reposted questions on Ask Reddit, looking at you OP

Having no hobbies. Like wth how can someone not have a single interest they want to do on a regular basis outside of scrolling on their damn phone.
Making animals fight each other. Cockfighting, dogfighting, etc.
If you treat politics as a hobby bordering on identity, I’m out.
‘Auditors’ who film in public buildings or over private land.
Their actual footage is of no interest. We only ever see the dramatic confrontations they provoke.
Essential oils, and proclaiming the various healing properties of them.
Don’t know if it’s been mentioned yet but definitely Crossfit.
People who are really into vexillology tend to have a few red flags.

Influencing, content creating, etc. Most people I know that say that do that, are unemployed living of dreams based on what they see on social media.
I don’t think anyone has mentioned casual crime yet. I’m not making a joke. I’m talking about people who shoplift and steal stuff everywhere they go.
Gambling.
Scratch tickets. Honey, it’s never just scratch tickets.
Having to watch every single Hallmark movie on every single Hallmark channel. Yes, you know who you are.
People who are into ‘pranking’
Lately it’s more of a cruel act upon someone and not at all in good or harmless fun
Being super into celebrities and their lives. Weird
Running multiple MLM accounts and calling it ‘entrepreneurship.
Disney. Yearly Disneyland/world visits, singalong’s, clothing and accessories.
Not having a hobby at all is a red flag.
