I find it weird that there are two kinds of snobbery for goods. (Harmless snobbery - de gustibus non disputandum est).
Coffee, wine and whisky lovers adore the rarest and most refined, and insist the everyday stuff is vile. But lovers of crime novels, science fiction and anime adore the widest range, and insist that the most obscure trash contains treasure. I've never met a wine lover who would rave about obscure objectively-bad wines, or a sci-fi fan who will only read the most perfect works. I don't know quite what the difference is - consumability? Physical flavour?
I'm all for letting people enjoy what they enjoy. Personally I wouldn't want my palate to become so refined it became a hassle.
