But the ultimate question you consider here can only be satisfactorily answered by yourself. All I know is that my love of literature does not stem from the critical inquiry I perform when thinking or writing about it (even if understanding my reactions through inquiry/research is a feeling I’ve also learned to fall in love with!), but rather from the experience of reading itself. I think it’s okay, important even, to admit that we enjoy the material we deal with and how it makes us feel. One also has to think about the platform one is expressing this to and the audience for whom it is intended. Twitter is not where one has to post critical inquiry into the thoughts/reactions one has. The immediacy and conciseness of the medium invite responses like the original one you had without needing much follow-up.
But, I think you’re right; it’s a symptom of the profession.
