Been watching since 2014. The last race I attended in person was Silverstone in 2021 and what I will say is that a sprint weekend makes every day interesting when you're actually at the circuit and spending all day there.
Watching it on TV feels very different though - it feels rushed, repetitive and it slightly dilutes the actual GP. During a standard weekend it feels like you're steadily building to a massive event. I think having three sprint races in a season is fine but six of these things is annoying. I like that F1 is willing to trial new ideas but they're throwing a bit too much shit at the wall to see what sticks at the moment. The calendar is too bloated as well, but that's a whole 'nother issue.
