You're allowed to dislike a work of creativity for any reason
You can dislike a game bc you don't like the text font
You can dislike the Mona Lisa bc you don't like the frame
Art is subjective. You are not wrong for disliking it, but you don't HAVE to be right either

I think too many people feel they need a OBJECTIVE GOOD REASON to dislike something, and that's dangerous. Because if you are certain that your reason for disliking something is objectively correct, well, that means everyone who likes it must be objectively wrong, right?
I think it comes from internet debate culture. It's not enough to feel a way, you have to be able to argue it.
But of course it's subjective. You DON'T need a good reason to dislike the thing. You don't need to defend it. Honestly it's fine, you are not wrong to dislike stuff.

Of course I'm only talking about creative works here. Objectivity exists in science etc, and that's super important. But art isn't like that. Just look at the difference between critics and audience scores on Rotten Tomatoes for an obvious example.
Now, shit, trashing something in a video is fucking AWESOME content! I LOVE watching Youtubers trash shit I don't like in hour long videos!
But I enjoy these as an indulgent bias confirmation rather than any kind of objective viewpoint to think less of others if they disagree
