    In which Mina Le discusses "being a hater, the death of criticism, and the phenomenon of the people's princess", as well as the way in which social media has influenced media criticism in terms of clickbait leading to polarizing language and discouraging nuance, as well as every layman becoming a critic (I felt that last one lol).

    There's also an interesting bit at the end about female celebs suffering criticism to a larger extent than male ones because "nobody likes a perfect woman" (like Anne Hathaway in the 10's), but at the same time nobody likes the imperfect one (Jennifer Lawrence) because it seems fake. She then points to Zendaya as someone walking the line perfectly between popularity and overexposure and compares her to Taylor Swift who a lot of people are annoyed with.

    Said it 2 weeks and I'll say it again, these videos are so wide that they could fit into 5 different subgroups so I think an ~entertainment would be great although I guess this one mostly is about movies so that's why I posted this one here
