Criticizing what someone gets enjoyment from to make an argument isn’t a stance that’ll hold up. Undoubtedly you have something in your life that you find enjoyable which others don’t.
Beauty isn’t the only thing in the eye of the beholder.
If you actually read my comment, you’d see I’m not criticising anything HP related at all. I’m stating I don’t understand it (this is not criticising), especially when it supports YT, but that’s also it. The only thing I’m criticising is supporting YT, not that they watch HP video essays.
I did read your comment a few times, looking for a different tone, to see a meaning perhaps I misunderstood, but I can’t find it.
For what it’s worth, Harry Potter isn’t relevant to any of this besides being used as the example. They could have said Star Wars, pottery, landscaping, or astrology. Their point was moreso, ‘I watch long form content that isn’t found anywhere but on YouTube, and Harry Potter is an example of this content.’
You go on to mention the content in every line of your initial comment, and mentioned the platform only once. They enjoy a thing, you don’t understand how they can enjoy that thing.
Whether intentional or not, I can’t see what you’ve written as anything but a critique.
For posterity, your comment:
My interpretation, if you care to see it:
Your first line comes off as yelling at the person for their choice of content.
The second line, by my reading, is saying their entertainment adds no value to their life.
The next two attempt to couch the first two by conflating your patronage of the same source material to an in depth analysis of it.
Then the first half of your conclusion line specifically states you don’t understand how they reap enjoyment of watching their chosen content, only to be reinforced by your use of “much less”, which means the first bit of the sentence is what you are primarily focused on.
