As has also been said many times before, not everybody likes the same things. And of course the demise of the theatre has been predicted regularly, probably since the Greeks.
The comment is further on the silly side since (a) as has been said many times, people don't pay attention to critics and (b) it seems like people are willing to put up with some bad theatre (small downside) for the pure joy of seeing the stuff they love (a gigantic upside).
So yes let's draw conclusions based on false premises because it makes so much sense to do so.
Oh, and for the record, I did not like POTUS. |
