I don't write reviews of media, I write about my personal experience with media which has nothing to do with anyone else.
My analysis of media is based on my subjective experience with it, my lived experience, my biases, my fetishes, my interests etc. It shouldn't influence you. You're not me and I'm positive we're nothing alike so my opinion and experience shouldn't influence your decision making process about art. It only should teach you about me and nothing else.

I only take media advice from people I genuinely respect and who I know have a significant amount of information, access, and media literacy ... OR people who are telling/teaching me something that I didn't already know.
I really have almost no interest in what people think about media because they are in their own worlds, own realities, and things speak to them in ways that don't resonate with me.
I consume media for different reasons and I appreciate it differently.

@thewebrecluse I feel that a lot of today’s media is more opinion than pure facts. I agree with you completely. If I ever reply with an answer you know is wrong please fact check me so I can go look into it more.
Media is subjective. Different people are going to love or hate things based ENTIRELY on who they are as people ... VERY FEW pieces of media have the same kind of effect on every person that sees them. VERY FEW pieces of art will speak to the people that see them in the same ways.
There are only a handful of universal responses to things. It doesn't happen often, but when it does it's pretty significant and that is absolutely something the general public should take note of when it does.
