If it's ubiquitous, it's on the downside of cool, and I don't need to be cool, but even if I did, this wouldn't get me there. This is something that can only be skipped. Of course, I'm a little worried that I'm so old that everything new that comes along will only be noticed by me when it's already on the way out and then I'll just be skipping everything. But there's liberation in that. Does anything in the newspaper demand my attention?
“You hate to see it” is a barb, a hex protection and an imperious shake of the head. It is the exhilarating sensation of observing a rival attempt to enter a just-locked post office, manifested in text. It is inescapable on Twitter, where it is flaunted like a universally flattering pair of sunglasses capable of adorning almost any sentence.So... sentences are wearing sunglasses now?

Why do you still read the NYT's?
I'm a little worried that I'm so old that I think Biden doesn't look old.
“a rival trying to enter a just locked post office” is an unusual and old fashioned image.
Really no more than a slight variant of the twenty-year old Seinfeld faux-sympathy meme "That's a shame."

A luncheon liberation or a culinary divergence.
I do not understand and will not obey.

I broke it down. To make is understandable.
the saying is: Hate to see it, gotta love it.
it's millennial-ese for schadenfreude
Sounds like NYT trying to be Buzzfeed.
Imagine how much a person could accomplish if they didn't take the time to keep up on trends, fashions, memes, and other assorted dust in the wind. You could take a nice long bath.
Has anyone ever made up a meaningless meme out of thin air that never was and pretended it was a real thing, which of course could make it a real thing. Maybe that's how they all start. That's right, I talking conspiracy.
What the hell is going on here today?
It's an Alt Right thing. Which means that it's another jokester's phrase created as a joke on them but taken oh so seriously by the weaponized attack media.
Humor is no longer allowed in the Politically Correct Jails. This is your last warning!
I can't remember a time when sunglasses weren't cool. Hipster expressions come and go, but if you can figure out a way to adorn your sentences with sunglasses, they'l live in eternal cool.
we're a week into summer and this has already been decided?
The article tried to trace the rise in popularity of the phrase, e.g., sports to gamers, trying to show which subcultures bleed into each other and, ultimately, how a meme breaks out into being world-wide suddenly. Seems to suggest that "Black Twitter" commenting on "GOT" launched "ya hate to see it" as a thing everyone suddenly uses. But you have to know the right way to use it. The Democratic debate - ya hate to see it. WRONG.
