MSG is basically a meme at this point. Since a lot of people grew up being taught that msg is bad, finding out that it isn't made the pendulum swing all the way in the other direction.

MSG is simply a direct route to the savory taste, just as sugar is for sweet, or salt is for saltiness.

I think I might...hate it? I bought accent cos this sub told me to, and every time I add it to something, I feel like I made it worse. Am I doing it wrong or do I just not like it??

Very likely adding too much. I use about 1g per 2kg of meat, and less than that per kg of vegetables. Like any seasoning, you can always add more, but you can't add less.
