I've lived quite the fulfiling life without reading a letter of Pratchet's works. And that should be okay. It's the singular conceit of people who love literature, and this can be applied sui generis, to assume that people not loving the same things they love should take away from their love of them. If you love Pratchet, good on you. For countless others like me, neither his life nor death had any appreciable impact on our lives.
Likewise, it should be OK for a silly little quiz to be directed at those who appreciate Pratchett's work. Not everything can be for everyone, and that's fine. I'm not really sure why you felt the need to respond. Or even watch the video, to be honest: it should have been obvious from the title alone that it would be of little interest to you.
Frankly, I think this is an ice cold take, and that most people would agree with the idea that everyone should respect other people’s choices about what they do or don’t read. However, nothing in the video or in any other comment warrants this response, so I’m confused as to what lead to you saying this completely unprompted. In lieu of any other evidence, I’m lead to believe you just don’t like Pratchett, and at any mention of the man you feel the need to rant about his fans. Which would be weird. My point is that you claim not to care about Pratchett, but you cared enough to click on this video and make this comment. It would be like if I purposefully tried to get interviewed by a sports broadcaster just to say “I don’t like sports.”
Well, now I just want to know what Pratchett's solution to the Monty Hall Problem is!
Gods, I never knew how badly I needed this until now. GNU STP.

Excellent edition of this or that.
