ELITIST CULT UNCOVERED: Reddit’s ‘Tastemakers’ DECLARE WAR on Mainstream Viewers with Secret TV List
A shocking and deliberately obscure Reddit thread has exposed a DARK TRUTH about the entertainment industry: a cabal of self-appointed television snobs are GATEKEEPING masterpiece shows, deliberately keeping them from the masses. The thread, started by user u/Lilyana0999, wasn’t a harmless question—it was a BRAGGING GROUND for intellectual narcissists to flaunt shows YOU are “too stupid” to find.
The responses aren’t recommendations; they are FIREWALLS. Shows like the brutal Canadian crime drama “19-2” or the mind-bending German epic “Dark” are presented not as entertainment, but as badges of superior intellect. This is CULTURAL SABOTAGE. These elitists HATE that you binge Netflix’s popular hits, so they hoard these “10/10” gems in a smug, digital vault, implying your taste is corporate sludge. They REVEL in your ignorance.
Experts are alarmed. “This is a symptom of a BROKEN culture where consumption is no longer about joy, but about CURATING an identity of perceived superiority,” states one media psychologist. The thread PROVES that art has become a weapon in a silent class war. Every mention of an unknown Nordic noir or an anime from 1998 is a deliberate shot fired at the ordinary viewer, a way for these users to feel SPECIAL in an algorithm-driven world.
Their secret list is a declaration: you are NOT one of them. And they will do everything to keep it that way.
