I dont belittle the genre, I like a lot of YA books actually, I belittle the people that in their 30s still only read YA and fanfiction and refuse to branch out while simultaneously thinking that they are well read.

I totally get what you're saying, but at the same time most people these days just don't read for pleasure whatsoever. With that context I would prefer people only read YA than not read at all. I'm not here to gate keep reading you know, there's endless phenomenal YA books out there.
