Reply to comment by yaddablahmeh in Why people are so obsessed with these booktok famous books? by nightOwlwhy

I get where you're coming from because no one likes judgey folks. However I think the OP posed a fair question: they really didn't enjoy something that appears to be popular, so they want to gain better insight of why it clicked with other readers. I took this to be a examination of other people's thought processes, not a slight against them.

OP sounds like an intelligent articulate person, I'm sure he/she doesn't need it spelled out that different people like different things. It's not a complicated concept.

Exactly! The OP already gets that people like different things. That's why they're here asking the follow-up questions 'I just want to know about the opinions of others...why are people interested in it...I'm just curious because of course people can read whatever they want.'

We could be having the same discussion about a restaurant, fashion, or video games. "I didn't like it, but a lot of people do. What am I missing here?"
