i’m not comparing those two things. i’m pointing out that the “it’s popular = it must be good” argument is obviously ridiculous when you apply it to kanye. or any other terrible thing that’s “popular”
Well to be clear, Kanye’s recent music material output aside and awful public behaviour - his musical content is absolutely highly acclaimed historically by listeners and critics.

if that’s a good enough reason for you, then that’s what it is. from my perspective, “listeners and critics” factor 0% into what i consider to be worth my time
I don’t really like hip hop (generally), I was just noting the reputation if we’re observing general reputation. Whereas in music terms, something like Imagine Dragons (for example) simply doesn’t have that critical reputation.
It’s also considered a very good adaptation, great writing, great acting etc (until end of S04, or end of S06 depending who you ask) in its own right. There’s a reason it did attain popularity in the first place.

No one made that argument, though. The person you replied to literally said you can debate the merits of the show.

yea, i know. GoT is popular. and so far, the reasons i’ve seen people giving for it being popular is that “it’s popular”
