I assume OP is taking the perspective of his friends, who are annoyed by this behavior, rather than the perspective of the anime-fans, who don’t necessarily see anything wrong with the situation.
In the literal world, I’m an anime fan, but the situation seems basically futile: the people recommending anime seem like they’re accomplishing nothing but generating frustration. More metaphorically, I’m mostly interested in how to prevent the behaviour either as somebody complaining about anime or as a third party, and secondarily interested in how to restrain myself from recommending anime.
