ok i'm tired of talking about politics, can i please whine for the briefest moment about the influencers being bad at content analysis of books and tv

I will fully say up front, I love Dungeon Crawler Carl and Pluribus, both of which are ending up on a bunch of people's EOY lists which is why this dippy discourse is happening but like the haters are not even hating properly on these properties

Because I like both of these things, the algorithm shows me haters of these things, because the algorithm is a dippy asshole. Every once in a while, I happen upon a hater who has really consumed a thing and has a good read. There are fair critiques out there! BUT

More often than not, I run into the most surface-level possible shit that essentially boils down to "this thing is bad because in < episode/chapter 1 > the < main character > did/said < a thing that wasn't the most perfect deal > and thus < this is a fascist project > and like no

I would love it if every once in a while instead of Generating Content About It, someone would just say "tried it, wasn't for me, didn't finish." That's okay too! I'd rather read that than your half-baked takes on something you had to force yourself to finish while distracted by candy crush.

I do not think this is a generational thing, I am not inclined to dip on young people. I see this from ~ influencers ~ of many/all ages, grappling for some kind of weird post-tumblrclout for who can dunk hardest on a thing without consuming it
