ah, I've never watched a CinemaSins video. it sounds like something I can safely avoid because I don't like review shows that only exist to shit on movies they hate
I guess RedLetterMedia got big by doing that but at least they also sometimes talk about stuff they actually like
edit: also I don't think only obscure foreign art films count as works of art, I'm a horror fan so a lot of my favorite movies are very schlocky but still have artistic merit IMO
CinemaSins got their start making videos about continuity errors and such in movies, and degraded over the years to where it's a bare minimum effort unscripted first-pass nitpick of a movie, such as "has opening credits", "kid's bedroom has toys in it", "they haven't introduced this character yet" when that character is being introduced. It's one of the most lazy productions I've ever seen.
It is not just something that can be safely avoided, it is something that you should avoid if you value having braincells. That said, you would definitely be missing out if you didn't sample some of Shaun's (leftist skull boy) videos exhibiting just how bad CinemaSins really is.

For those who don't already know Shaun, I'd also recommend his more serious work on topics like the US dropping of nuclear weapons on civilians in Japan, The racist and ableist origins and continued racist/ableist use of The Bell Curve, his series on BBC's Transphobia, etc.
I will watch the shaun videos because watching good youtubers calmly dunk on popular bad youtubers is a guilty pleasure
