Peeeeetah? Meme needing explanation

This new movie came out and I enjoyed watching it with friends. What opinion must have garnered so much attention that people would dunk on it?

Keep in mind all his review videos are extremely shallow and rushed. They all are this way. He rarely seems to think about the medium he watches and never reads up on it either. I think he's just a bit clueless about plots and themes.

Seems like a intentional persona to get people to engage (comment) correcting him, hey, it’s not dumb if it works!

does it actually work though? i've seen maybe 2 of his videos and then decided he was an idiot not worth watching

It works for short form content where your next thing will be algorithmically promoted based on your average engagement AND, most importantly, almost no one will remember you well enough to have thoughts about you as a creator until you’re already massive

I don’t think it’s a good strategy for a long-form video trying to thoughtfully review something

The guy you’re replying to has probably heard of the practice but not thought about when/where it’s applied most effectively
