Personally, I don't find blorbo particularly useful because it doesn't really say anything more than other terms that already existed haven't before. And while I think it's a bit silly and just plain don't much like how it sounds I also don't mind people using it.
Instead, I think it's a good way to gauge other people in fandom by, not by judging the people who use it but by judging the people who get unnecessarily pressed about people using it. Because those are usually types who take themselves and fandom too seriously for my tastes and I'd rather not associate with these types.

ITA with this comment.

But I also agree with the secret poster that "I cant take anyone who uses this common fandom slang word seriously, no matter what they actually have to say" is way more of an immature take that just...using the slang.

There is a lot of commonly used fandom slang that most people would agree isn't a great choice for serious discussions. The only thing that makes "blorbo" any different than "omega slick" or "unalive" or "gemsona" is that people get really defensive about how normal it is to use blorbo in the wild.
