Out of curiosity: are you actually grateful, or just saying that as a joke? (I'm asking this because so far I'd presumed such comments were jokes and while TVTropes was addictive, surely it wasn't that bad and you could always close it if you really had to - but I've seen enough of them to start to suspect that they might not all be jokes, and that for some people TVTropes really is that bad.)

Somewhat grateful. It isn't absolutely awful since I can often avoid clicking on the initial TVTropes page, but if I do click on a single TVTropes page I'm likely to get stuck there for a while. In this case, I clicked on the link once without thinking about it and then was happy to see a Wikipedia page.
