repetitiveness
Doing it again
Repetitiveness is the quality of repeating or being repeated, often more than necessary.
The word usually carries a negative connotation—suggesting tedium or redundancy rather than useful reinforcement: The repetitiveness of the lectures made them hard to sit through.
Something with repetitiveness lacks variety or fresh content.
