"Why does it hurt??"
Because there is this inexplicable characteristic of humans
Where they judge the value of some thing based on wether others
( even anonymous strangers) have the same opinion of it.
when there seems evidence that "the people" have rejected something you like, you feel "rejected" and even a little embarrassed for having liked it so much.
This mindset is what makes most consumers subject to manipulation of product marketing claims about who uses or "endorses" their products
it also is the main reason we have silly Immature Emotional hate wars engaged by so called Adults over things like Apple IOS vs Google Android,Mac Desktop OS vs Windows Desktop OS
Poser vs Daz studio/genesis etc etc.
these types of "Fan base" wars reveal alot about mentality of the people who participate in them.
Cheers
