I feel like critics have fallen into this hole too. Something comes out and they need a unique take on why it sucks to get views, when most people just watch it and enjoy it without criticisng the symbolism of the colour grading.

That's the whole point of a critic though. They're supposed to be providing deeper takes rooted in expertise in the film industry.

I think part of the problem is that people think criticism is an inherently bad thing. That allows people to dismiss criticisms as being negative, rather than simply an observation of a flaw.
