I don't know what it is, with this need to shit on every single movie or game before it even comes out. There are people who cheer for this stuff to fail, it's absurd . It goes hand in hand with this other issue, when a game is released people will either love it or be called "unplayable shit". Nobody has an in between anymore. Just cause some games aren't a 10/10 masterpiece, it doesn't mean they're shit.
I heard it in some podcast that humans developed a knack to pay attention to negativity as it could help with survivability. Social media hacks into that trait by amplifying negativity.
There is money in it, just a grift.
