Ha! This made me laugh out loud.
As for me, I SHOULD practice with a metronome. My timing definitely needs improving. I go off the rails. IG

Now I haven't played with a bunch of people like some here have, but I have played in groups and I never had a timing issue, when playing rhythm. I can see it when playing lead lines, and that was what my instructor told me years ago when I started learning to play some lead and he told me to get a metronome. Which I never did master, because it just never really interested me much. My interest has always been Flat Picking in the Carter style using melody lines. But yes I get using a metronome to practice if you are mixing in a bunch of lead and/or lead lines. Staying in time is much more troublesome.

No way Jose.
I'm a human, not a machine and changing the tempo of a song whenever I want is part of my interpretation.

I don't use one as much as I should, but when I do I usually use an app that lets you program it so some bars have the metronome and some don't. My physical metronome isn't that advanced and a good app is relatively inexpensive. It's pretty rewarding when the metronome comes back on and I'm in time and pretty illuminating when I'm off and wouldn't otherwise know it.

I used to and it really helped me with my timing. You can also practice with a drum machine if the metro gets boring.

Yes I do and it always improves my playing. It took me a while before I could play with a metronome (I've been playing for over 4 years now).
The first couple of times I tried, it was such a difficult task master that it took all the joy out of my playing and I couldn't bear to stick with it. But as I've progressed as a player, somehow the last time I grabbed the metronome (I use Justin Guitar's time trainer app), it stopped being so difficult and started to be more, dare I say, enjoyable. I started learning a new fingerstyle recently that was giving me trouble mentally, and I reached to the metronome and it's helped a huge amount. The metronome made it clear to me that I was speeding up and I find it quite funny when I hear other players say things like "I never need to use a metronome, I have good timing". To which I mentally think "liar liar pants on fire". |

Every time I practice, which means every day. Everyone I have met who hates metronomes has inconsistent time. Maybe there is a correlation.

About 75% of my practice time involves the metronome.
Particularly important for becoming adept at looping.... Gabe🎵 |

No, perhaps I should have used one when I started out around 11 odd years ago, but I strummed and picked along to all sorts of records, CD's and YouTube tracks of varying tempos instead.

No substitute for working out with a metronome. It's a bit like working out with a strength trainer. Sure you can exercise on your own, but you'll develop faster if you have a trainer observing your every movement.
That being said I do not work out with a metronome except when the fingering is particular challenging or when working on scales and speed studies. It always increases precision in playing. Never wasted time, but not always fun. |

yes, for years. my first guitar teacher introduced me to doing that and I never quit using a metronome for practice. a great tool for building rhythm skills.
