That or I’m just so used to it I assume everything is sarcastic.

The 20 something generation has one criteria for acceptance: possitivity. Anyone who thinks or analyzes the prevailing groupthink is the defacto outcast and object of (unspoken but assumed) scorn.
On the flip side, I do believe that places like Amazon who allow negative reviews should be more diligent in scanning those reviews. When I preview a book I’m about to buy, I actually do look at the negative reviews and often there is some good insight or cautionary information there. But also, at times, those reviews can be completely unhelpful or irrelevant.
In any case, I do see good points on both sides of the issue.
