Cheeseburgers or hamburgers?

I think most cheeseburger cheese is gross. Like that American Cheese garbage you buy at supermarkets.
It's why I default to hamburgers most of the time.
A good restaurant might tempt me to the cheesier variant, however.

A burger is the exact right place for that type of cheese. It needs to be melted onto meat. It's garbage elsewhere.
There's only two integral parts of the burger: the patty and the bun, but of all the possible ancillary additions to the burger the cheese is one of the most important, and facilitates the presence of further toppings that otherwise may not have complimented the whole so well, if not for that gooey layer of melted cheese providing structural integrity to the stack. Not to mention the textural benefits a layer or two of cheese can bring to a burger, regardless of the quality of the cheese in question it's the one non-vital part of the burger that a burger will feel lacking without.
There's a difference? Most hamburgers I've ever had have had cheese. My usual burger when I rarely have one these days is lettuce, tomato, beef patty (or a chicken schnitzel depending on the mood), cheese, ketchup (mayo if schnitzel), beetroot, fried onions, bacon, pineapple and a fried egg. It has cheese so in this binary pole (also considering that I've never had a burger where cheese has actively made it worse) cheeseburger all the way.

These poll results are destroying me. Is is that weird not to like cheese on a burger?
I have to respect this analysis.
I mean, I've eaten more bad cheeseburgers(specifically bad because of the cheese I mean) then good ones, so not really.
Bacon cheeseburger. So cheeseburger. I could go for a bacon cheeseburger from Five Guys later today. Definitely going.
Put me in the 9% who prefers it without cheese.
I've never eaten a burger and thought "the cheese was absolutely necessary here".

I don't like most cheeses, so hamburgers all the way. It's a shame since so many places rely on the cheese to give their burgers flavor/richness and their meat is lacking.
I think a part of it for me is that most burgers I have are at fast food places and the cheese there is rarely of the kind I enjoy.
Last time at Five Guys I asked for a hamburger with ketchup, mustard and pickles but they ended up putting cheese on it anyway. Preferred it the old way.

2 McDonald's cheeseburgers and a large pack of fries is my guilty pleasure comfort food. I loved it ever since I was a kid. But I rarely have it nowadays because of how unhealthy it is.
If you're eating a hamburger in the first place I don't see the point of arguing over how crappy the cheese is, but that's not to deny that right now Blue Stilton on a hamburger in a teacake with green tomato chutney sounds divine.
Cheese on a burger is really good, but recently I had one at a really good restaurant that was called The Classic or something and it had no cheese on it. Was such a pure taste of the meat and I didn't miss the cheese at all.
I almost refuse to touch a burger without cheese unless the burger is just that good. Cheeseburgers all the way.
Cheese, of course. I'm not even sure if I can remember the last time I had a burger without cheese.
