** Given its reliance on informal writing style and pop culture references, it can be made very apparent when a certain entry or article was made ([[Administrivia/ExamplesAreNotRecent even when there are efforts to minimize such datings]]), for example something written in the mid-to-late 2000's containing plenty of references to ''Series/BuffyTheVampireSlayer'', ''LightNovel/HaruhiSuzumiya'' or ''Anime/TengenToppaGurrenLagann''.

** The gradual tightening of the rules from 2017 onward. There are many who see this as justified since TV Tropes has rapidly gained attention since then, necessitating tighter quality control over what is and isn't allowed. Others, mostly consisting of users who were around on or before 2017, dislike how the stricter guidelines have since limited what can and can't be done on the site, mostly concerning the usage of YMMV Tropes.
