Rant: Anyone else hate side couples in romance stories?

I don't know of this is just me but I really hate having side stories in Yuri, Yaoi, or even straight manga. It really puts me off and frustrates me to no end because 100% of the time it's super unnecessary and I don't even care about the secondary couple. Don't get me wrong, I don't mind a side story focusing on the side couple when the main story has ended. But when it rudely interrupts the main thats what gets me mad. For one, it puts off the flow of the main story and two if the story is updating, I get really hyped, and click only to be sorely disappointed that its two irrelevant people I dont give two shits about. It's like an unwanted filler episode of two characters nobody ever asked for. This is not me coming at people who like the side couples because there are some exceptions for me (like Bj Alex) but it just annoys me when it takes away from the main story. Anyway, thats my incoherent thought dump and you can disagree if you want bcs I'm not sure if it's an unpopular opinion or not.
