Same. Critique in and of itself is fine, there's good discussion to be had in that...but there's criticism and then there's just flat out hating and dumping on something on a regular basis. And the latter just sounds...exhausting to me.

My favorite aspect of this is when the people constantly raging and ranting about some ceebrity/show/movie/band/etc. are like, "God, why is this so popular/why is it everywhere?" I just keep wanting to say, "...because people, you included, are giving it attention?" I think a lot of people who spend thier time hating on things tend to forget about that - any attention, be it positive or negative, is still attention. The companies/celebrities/executives/etc. don't care why people are talking about something, they just care that they're talking about it. If people really want things they can't stand to go away, eitehr entirely or at least in their little corner of fandom or whatever, ignoring it completely really would be the better way to go.

It’s because genuine criticism is actually pretty hard to do, most people think it means endlessly dumping on something, when it’s not it’s seeing both the good and the bad, and sometimes you don’t appreciate the thing because of the bad but that doesn’t mean you ignore the good.

Most folks online do not do this when taking about media they don’t like.
