Yeah you might be right but I still hate having to click through or wait just in case. For example I'm never going to watch an M. Night Shyamalalallan movie or something without waiting just to see. One of my earlier comments mentioned it was the second Harry Potter movie that set me off.
I hate that it's gotten to the point where every movie

Lmao what? Do you only watch superhero movies or something?
The vast majority of movies do not have after credit scenes >

I honestly just check now because.. "just in case". I was rewatching the Harry Potter movies and the second film had an after credits scene I didn't even know existed. I watched that in theatres like 20 years ago. I clicked through the rest of the films to check and now it's become a habit. >

You can’t blame the second Harry Potter film’s post credits scene on Marvel, the MCU wasn’t even an idea when that came out.
Also, side note, I had no idea there was a post credits scene! What is it? >

I had no idea it was in my version, it just started playing. Here's a youtube clip best I could find. It's just a silly Gilderoy Lockhart scene. Scene >

It's takes tons of people to produce a multi-million dollar film that would like to be recognized for their hard work. More films should have after credits. >

I have not once in my life read any name on the credits. There are literally hundreds of names from people i have never heard of. I would be sitting there going „jane doe….cool…….john doe….neat…..peter meter….okay…“ >

I just look for the dirtiest sounding name like I’m 12. Like Dixon Assange. I forget what movie it was, but I’ll never forget their name, or that their parents hated their child. >

Dirty sounding names are funny, i might do that next time as well lol. I do wonder tho what parents think when naming their children smth stupid >

I think they're fun and a nice way to "trick" you into watching the credits. Sure, you're not going to read every single name, but it's a nice time to reflect on the fact that movies take huge teams and a lot of time to make, so it's sort of a way to thank the people who made the movie. If done right, post-credits scenes are also incredibly exciting and hint towards something that will show up in a future movie. >

I'll admit I really liked how Pixar has done this - as you say "trick" you into watching the credits. >

Plus when the post-credit scene finally appears, you're not immersed anymore.
You could have watched it on Youtube to begin with. And yes, you always find them on Youtube. >

I just feel like the majority of people who enjoy post-credit scenes already know it's coming. Never have I ever just chilled in a theatre and then suddenly was treated to a scene - it just doesn't happen organically.. I mean, people just.. leave? >

Sit and wait? Do you…not have a phone? I just google it real quick. >

I meant sit and wait in the theatre specifically, of course not when I'm watching at home. Then I just skip ahead to make sure. Both situations are annoying to me since I don't want to check beforehand and get anything spoiled >

At the theater. Literally all you gotta do is, once the movie ends, take out your phone and google, “Does -Insert movie here- have an after credits scene?” That’s what I do. >

OMG I love it! Well, I only love it when the MCU does it and when you watch at home you can skip credits if there is a final scene.
Take my vote. >

MCU was just what came to mind immediately and I guess it's expected now, but I know I definitely missed the first few in phase 1 or 2 or whatever just because I didn't know. 
Once I knew to wait I remember telling people leaving the theatre "hey wait" there's another scene. Of course anybody who is into it would know but a lot of people don't. >

Nah, Marvel was very much right on this, most of the time, both artistically and commercially.
It's important to do both well.
Some movies have post-credits scenes that are stupid because all they do is extend the movie's content without leading into a sequel or anything else. Those scenes should have been edited into the film proper.
Marvel/Disney did not invent, but optimized the post-credits scene as a promotional tool. Most of their post credits scenes are highly engaging, comical, and informative about a future film. Some of them are worth watching all on their own.
Not every one of these scenes is worth its weight in celluloid though. Particularly when they attempt to advertise films that had very little chance of being produced. Like the scene in Eternals: it was a pretty desperate attempt to drum up interest for an Eternals 2 that no producer in their right mind would have bet on being possible.
On the other hand, there's the scenes attached to Iron Man or The Incredible Hulk that set up events Marvel/Disney had committed to making happen years down the line. The scenes are good on their own, the movies got made, and everybody liked that. >

I agree with what you're saying 100%, you are correct - I just don't like it, think it's stupid/shouldn't be a thing, hence the unpopular opinion I guess. >

I don’t imagine that theater owners like them. Let the crews come in and clean :lol: while the credits roll, instead of waiting for the audience to leave while they wait for Groot do something stupid. >

I actually saw this with the new Avatar, there was waiting and the theatre staff awkwardly came in to clean I guess, but everybody kinda grabbed their garbage and we just helped out and passed stuff along in to their big garbage bag thingys. To be fair it was a 19+ theatre but still >

I think they are fine as long as they're not important to watch so you understand something in the sequel. When it's either a tease of a sequel but not an important plot point, or just a quick gag, I like them >

Post credit scenes are hardly ever used unless you’re DC or Marvel lol
