Seems very likely you're eating bad tomatoes, sliced at the wrong thickness and on poorly constructed burgers.
I could make you a burger with tomato that would make you cry with joy. There are few actual "bad" foods/combinations, just the wrong chef preparing them who is usually undereducated on the nuance of a given cuisine.
A problem with the internet is that because you hold the world's knowledge in your pocket, many start to think they hold the world's knowledge in their heads. Just because it "feels" like your cooking, doesn't mean you're a chef. A YouTube video doesn't make an expert, it might make a convincing copy that can't improvise to save it's life because it lacks a basic knowledge of foundational concepts.
It's like chat GPT; yes, it drew hands, at a glance, but if you look closer you'll see there are 8 fingers, extra knuckles, no fingernails and no bone structure within the fingers - because the program doesn't actually know what it's doing. So you and I may both have burgers with tomatoes on our plates, but we're having entirely different experiences.
Unfortunately, being a chef feels too accessible as a concept and marketing patches many wounds, hence the boom in food trucks and YouTube channels run by "chefs" churning out garbage.
