I realized that at some point the fanbase of a piece of media changes for the worse. There's usually a threshold where the game gets too popular and the normies move in or the basement trolls looking for attention and it's not worth reading their opinion. The honest truth is that not every opinion is worth the same especially when exposed to the internet.
Take movies for example. CinemaSins has done irreparable damage to the concept of online criticism. By focusing on humor and barely double checking the script they have created an environment where it's ok to shit on some movie for banal things or claim there are plot holes which are literally explained seconds later. And then you have the normalfag who has barely seen other media and has some weird expectation of what is supposed to happen in the movie and they get buttblasted when it doesn't. Some people don't even know HOW to watch a movie or show; by that I mean they are on their phone most of the time or just have the media in the background while doing something else - meaning it's somehow the media's fault for not doing exciting action stuff to grab their attention.
/v/ opinions on vidya are mostly worthless. Anons have commodified meta commentary as entertainment meaning you don't even have to interact with the property to have an opinion on its quality.
