It's not "more demanding" it's "overcritical".

The benefit comes from exactly the thing you're superficially asking for; it seems "higher quality" to be cynical towards things, as if you're "discerning". From it you can get respect from people who aren't very credible.

The problem is you miss out on good ideas and the more credible people don't generally take you seriously.
