Question: Does it make sense to post in these threads "I read X, don't bother for the following reasons" or should we only restrict to recommendations of what to read/listen/watch?

IMO counterrecommendations have their value too, especially if the reasons for such are explained. So, where I'm concerned, go right ahead

Warnings would make sense to me if the work is marketed or recommended in ways which would make rationalists likely to pick it up.
