To be fair, it's not every day that you read a story about a murderbot with a dry sense of humor and whose aim is to half-ass its job as much as possible to watch serials in peace (but who gets attached to its human clients more than it thought it would). Maybe it just hit different after having being exposed to the concept of "quiet quitting" many many many times on social media.
