    Is there a word for something that is disappointing but simultaneously unsurprising?

      Inevitable?

      It’s worth pointing out that all this is is the video from the Beijing example which I honestly haven’t even heard about. This does not mean the product itself is a fraud which I’m sure people are going to jump up and down on.

      If it is disappointing it doesn’t fulfill your expectations. But if you expected it to happen then it’s not disappointing

        Not really, disappointing also includes a failure to fulfill hopes, not just expectations. You can expect an outcome and also be disappointed by it.
