Eg someone thinks they enjoy bowling, but every time they could actually
go, they find a reason why they can't.

Feelings aren't always immediate. That's how shrinks "make the big money."

As already pointed out I conflated mitzta'eir with the mitzvah of simchas
YT. But in the latter case this is itself problematic. Enjoying a good
tune isn't the same as enjoying davening. Nor all happiness that is on YT
"simchas YT".
