I completely disagree. The only thing you need in Civil War is to have at least watched Winter Soldier and The First Avenger. It was a Cap movie first, an Avengers movie second.

However...

For Infinity War, the Guardians will be there, so you'd need to see the 2 movies. Thor's gonna be there, so you need Ragnarok, but then you wouldn't know about Thor's other things in his respective movies and Spidey's there so that's also Homecoming.

...you're mixing these up. You don't need to see Infinity War to enjoy GotG.

Also, Infinity War is the big event, just like the comics having big events. You don't need to see/read the stories leading up to it if you don't want to, but it will enhance the experience if you do.

Avengers was my second MCU movie and I had no fucking clue what was going on. Who are these people? Why should I care about them?

That's not the movie's fault though as the movie still gave great character moments for every character. Plus, if you don't know who the characters are at all you were born before 1962 and never picked up a single comic or watched a single cartoon ever.

Whem Civil War was out I watched Age of Ultron, all three Iron Man films and the first Captain America movie, so I didn't have those issues again

Again though, they enhanced your experience. The only movies you needed to watch before Civil War were The First Avenger and The Winter Soldier because that is where it all started, Bucky's resurrection occured and where Cap's distrust of corporations/committees making the decisions of what he can and can not do came from.
