What makes you think ".. had everyone loving it" and "the majority of people who watched it loved it"? Was there a study done? I don't know either way, and am genuinely curious what that distribution looks like. I suspect nobody knows the answer but you seem confident in your assertion. As an aside, I imagine the commenter you're replying to will find "That you don't [love these things] is fine. Not everything needs to be for you." to be patronizing.

> What makes you think ".. had everyone loving it" and "the majority of people who watched it loved it"? "the majority of people who watched it loved it" Because why someone who doesn't like something watch it all the way through. The majority of people who watched Wheel of Time loved it. Sure, some people who disliked it or weren't interested would have watched it all the way through, but most people don't. Did the majority of people who watched only an episode or two love it? I don't know. But that was never my claim. Maybe you can share why you think people, outside of being reviewers, will watch things they don't like? Am I the odd one out? Seriously, if I don't like a book I stop reading it. If I don't like a show I stop watching. "JordanCon/WoTCon had everyone loving it." (completely different from saying "everyone loving it") Because I attended them, and everyone there was loving it. Judging by the cheers and the interest at the associated panels, and well everyone I spoke with. > I imagine the commenter you're replying to will find "That you don't [love these things] is fine. Not everything needs to be for you." to be patronizing Facts hurt?

  I would hazard most shows that people watch, they don't love. Indeed, when it comes to movies, books, and shows there are only a few that I love. Nevertheless I continue to watch and read various content because it's fun, doesn't mean I love it, and sometimes in the end I'll decide I didn't like it.
