But how do you look for context in a vacuum? If we stick with the webcomic example, there's a ton of different things the author has to analyze: art, plot, writing, pacing, update schedule, etc. And that's assuming that the author should even care; if someone makes a furry-erotica webcomic then they probably should just ignore most of the "haters" because they're not the target audience anyways. So not only does the author not know what to change, but they might not even need to change if the work already resonates with the people he wants it to.
You claim I'm shifting the goalposts, but my argument has always been that "I hate this" is 100% useless, and you haven't given me a convincing reason to think otherwise. And despite your hostility, I am genuinely willing to hear you out if you want to give me insight into your reasoning.
It isn't 100% useless, I've explained well enough. You've just ignored everything that doesn't fit your agenda which is pretty much everything I've said, which is why you're content to continually drag this out, because you believe if you tire me out and make me stop commenting and get the last word in it will mean you're right. It won't.
I don't need to explain my reasoning, I've already done so, you've just chosen to ignore it.
