Please add “Wont watch” or “Won’t read” feature

OP would need to argue why "Dropped" status isn't sufficient for their needs. This is from a 2015 thread on the same topic, so it at least gives a bit more context and rationale.



Arguments and points:

the main argument against using "Dropped" is the language, the word "Dropped" implies they started the show but didn't like it. But, just putting it in dropped with 0 episodes watched does the same thing: you dropped something without watching any episodes. But, just because a small number of people don't like the wording "Dropped" it's not a good argument for a major overhaul that would affect millions of users.

If you're adding a show to your list at all - you at least thought about watching it, then decided not to, so even if you didn't check out the first episode, you still thought about it, and Dropped it. You also have the choice of simply not listing a show at all if it really isn't something you're interested in, so OP would need to argue why it MUST be on their list while it CAN'T be in the Dropped list.

You could also use tags. Make a "Won't Watch" tag and put that on a show. Presto, done. Now all the shows you don't like are in the same section, Dropped, but you can annotate WHY each show is there with the detail you asked for.

maybe you want the show to be "dropped" so you've got a record of that but don't want it appearing in ANY list? In that case, it might make more sense to ask for a "Hidden" check box on any list entry. If there was a checkable "hidden" option you could private some show listings so they don't appear in your public profile at all. This would have multiple uses, one of which would be tagging shows as "Won't Watch" in your dropped list, but they don't appear in your public profile.

This is very well said and my thoughts actually.. if dropped with zero isn't "won't watch", then what is dropped with zero? lol it's almost a philosophical thing. There are many other sub categories you could create like Rewatching that make more sense in the main categories.

I like the idea of a "skip" button on recs and random anime to auto move them to Dropped Zero.

Another thing is it'd be nice to have a place on my list where I can review all anime I dropped or "wont watch" in case my tastes have grown over time.
