Its weird because the only people who are going to respond to this type of criticism are people who were so invested in Infinite Jest that they will read this lengthy critique. So its going always going to be extremely biased and poorly received by the biased audience, especially 20+ years later. So its basically just a conversation starter for all the snobs who inhaled this book and maybe a tiny minority who didn't enjoy it but are still motivated enough to discuss it.

The criqitue is mostly well-written and there's some issues I agree with, but they get pretty smarmy and smug by the end.
