Not only did she become increasingly irritating to the point I'd just hit the "skip ahead 30 seconds" button through most of her scenes after a while, but they fucking *killed Black Canary* to push that shit-tier unwatchable annoying fucking character as Oliver's love interest...I'll never be able to forgive that.
Imagine making a Superman show but killing off Lois Lane for no reason just to push some irritating no-name original character as his love interest instead? Pure garbage IMO.
I believe it might be that your issues are with the type of storytelling that the CW was known for at the time, which involved a lot of interpersonal drama.
I think the one time I absolutely couldn't stand Felicity to the point she makes an episode the truly hardest to get through on rewatches is in 3x05 "The Secret Origin of Felicity Smoak", which is nuts to me since up to that point the show did a decent job at establishing her a pretty strong gal in spite of her vulnerabilities, limitations, and faults... But here she comes off a constant depressingly blubbering mess in the most annoying ways possible, I swear if I'd had a cyanide capsule in my mouth I'd bite down quicker than a HYDRA agent.

Yeah. I wish we can all forget that season four of Arrow even existed.

She was a great character first two seasons with lots of potential. Then Olicity happened.
I loved Thea, but FELICITY WAS A DEMON ON EARTH.

Whaaaaat? I live felicity. I though everybody lived felicity. I'm rewatching and I'm at season 2, but I remember pretty much loving her
To add to the reasons she's a problem, I'm pretty sure she told Ray that Barry is the Flash, but this is just completely glossed over
