is everyone just collectively pretending to like DJs but privately everyone feels too bad for them to tell them that actually the original songs were better

The traditional DJ is like a gallery curator: they play other people's music and let it speak for themselves. They enhance the music through context.
DJ-as-remixer (beyond mere structural changes) is an aberration (to a degree).

but it doesn't feel like an enhancement, it strips away the most important part of a song that makes it good - the melody - and replaces it with UNGH U UNGH U UNGH. there are SO MANY MEASURES without any change.

It's hit or miss whether covers or remixes are better than original. It's hit or miss whether anything is good. Sorting through trash to find gems is normal operating procedure for life.

The same goes for almost all covers - playing slow and sad isn't arty it's just boring.

Nope. I have almost no use for a DJ. They are all certain they can do better. So far, they've all been wrong.

Personally, i dont care for DJ's. They think they're better at creating than the original artist. I also find it funny so many use DJ in their name like its something to be honored instead of a job.

Most remixes really only make sense to listen to in the club. They're much better for dancing than casual listening.
