    I mean, usually people consume art/media/etc because they like it, not out of an obligation to reward the creator’s effort.

      And there’s a million and one different reasons why the context behind a piece causes someone to dislike it even if they initially liked it. It works the other way too, if you like something and you find out it had a cool story behind it, lots of people will like it even more.

      “I fish the least digested looking bits of corn from the shit pile” is just not a good story lol
