You just found a song you listen for the whole day nonstop. The next morning you listen to the same song again and you just can’t stand it anymore.
Why does it happen?

In economics, there is a concept called the cost/utility analysis.

In simple terms:

You have access to your favorite slice of pizza! All the slices you desire. There comes a point where you no longer enjoy it – probably because you’re full and/or it just doesn’t taste as good anymore. This is a popular Econ concept… (I only took the basic courses so someone elaborate :D)

Anyway, I suspect it is a similar phenomenon. Mathematically, there comes a point where your enjoyment of a thing has plateaued due to constant indulgence.
