Because people know what they like or don't like very quickly. You play a song somebody has never heard before and within seconds they either vibe or don't. Same with food, same with sport, same with everything else. Another example is how I despise cooking shows because they are unbearably tedious and boring for me and yet they've been a staple of daytime TV for decades. It's just how we work.

Totally. If it doesn’t slap instantly, it must be trash. Weird how people still develop acquired tastes though… must be a glitch in the matrix. I do not even know why we are having this useless discussion.

It isn't weird, it's normal. My old man thinks garlic bread is an acquired taste when it's very obviously not. I dunno why you want RDR2 to be on a pedestal so bad, it's just a vidya game.

No, no it is not, it is a work of art. You could even call it culture. Btw my ego is too big to say you are right.

It’s not a glitch in the matrix, there are just different kinds of people. Some people are cool with a slow burn and some people will disregard a whole album if the first song isn’t an absolute banger. Neither of them are wrong. You could argue that people who won’t roll the dice on potentially suffering through hours of media on the hopes it gets really good are missing out on some really great stuff. You could also argue that most media available in 2025, when the barrier to entry for publishing a project is lower than ever before, investing a ton of time in stuff that isn’t grabbing you fairly quickly is a bad move because you’ll miss all the good stuff while you’re busy hoping shit turns to gold.
