I'd argue no media is OBJECTIVELY bad.
Like, if sapient aliens exist they would be subjects, and if for whatever reason they found The Room to be a profound piece of cinema, that would be a subjective opinion as valid as any other.
People should play what they want, but I also think humans kinda suck at understanding what they want, and will often consume (subjectively) inferior things cuz they don't know any better. Hearing someone else articulate why they don't/do like something can help people understand their own tastes better and seek out more genuinely fulfilling things.
It's kind of like how a lot of people were totally happy eating McDonalds till their one friend bullied them into trying Thai food.
I think my position is simple: I try new things that I haven't encountered or tried yet to see if I enjoy them. I'm kind of xenophile and hedonistic at heart, so craving new experiences, tastes, etc, is important to me.
I think some media is probably objectively bad. Like Tucker Carlson is objectively bad. But mostly yeah
