@ajamafalous: I agree entirely with this and am in the same boat. I just want a quick nudge from people who know their shit and I trust to say “if you don’t check this out you are missing out”. I am kind of done with parasocial bullshit and from the way the roster has been fluctuating wildly it seems like GB is too but a three hour podcast or livestream is a definitionally parasocial chill out. Metacritic is completely useless, it’s just marketing. In a world where good curation is more and more crucial, where there is so much so cheap so accessible, the greatest curators don’t want to curate, they want to bloviate.
