In the pursuit of reinforcing our own decisions, what we inevitably end up doing is casting judgement based on pre-conceptions. One in particular that sticks with me is the notion that the truth cannot be seen without love. Umineko no Naku Koro Ni taught me a lot more life lessons than I'd expect from what I thought going in was a murder mystery novel played straight. I think we'll always leap further to justify our own actions rather than those of someone we have a bad opinion of. Maybe it's as simple as overexposure makes one grow weary of it, or there's a cosy feeling about listening to something plucked from general obscurity, maybe there are just flaws in the song you didn't see until it became the centre of discourse and now you can't ignore them. But then again maybe you've been in their shoes before, and thus like we all do, you may have convinced yourself that your own actions are without fault. Whether it's general resentment at someone who prides themselves as being a 'better' music fan, or sheer schadenfreude at seeing that person's foundations crumble because they've been caught in a stalemate of either having to admit to liking something that's really popular, or re-package their opinion in a flimsy attempt to retain their superiority, where they've chosen the latter. To make another assumption, I assume you don't think highly of said strawman. To make an assumption of whoever is reading this, I assume you're familiar with the adage of the music fan who 'liked it more before it was popular'.
I mention all of this for one primary reason. I just can't do it because the whole experience is dehumanising for everyone involved, including me, a person reduced to malleable reactions. It's a silly cycle of superiority where I'm supposed to think that these people think they're better than me for superficial reasons, but in reality I'm wise enough to realise this and thus I'm the better person here. Whenever I see an ad for "Love Island", I feel like it's all a roundabout way of inspiring a reaction through showing seemingly vapid people who are content with their lifestyle.
Not for the people in it, but the fact that they're being presented at the whims of editors & producers.

I always wince a little whenever I see reality TV or commercials for it. What decisions, be they moral or personality defining, that person made in their past, their driving motivations.

Not necessarily in a sense of myself having a warped perspective of what constitutes a good person, but the fact that you really can't get a full view of how that person arrived where they are. This can be trivial things, like if someone asks me what my favourite era in music is, I feel uncomfortable providing a concrete answer because even if I was to quantify my opinions in a measurable way (which is not outside of my wheelhouse), doing so reveals circumstantial trends - if my experience in different eras is unbalanced, is my judgement even impartial? Another aspect that tends to get me into arguments is casting judgement on the character of other people. *****I've been brought up with a tendency to not want to cast strong judgement without sufficient information.
