"The show you enjoy is objectively shitty, for these following reasons"
Great, you've told me about the shitty quality of the story, the Moe bullshit is bad for the industry, the characters are forgettable, the animation is below average, the migration from the manga to the anime left a lot of details behind, and the gore and drama was narmy disappointing and laughably bad.
I still like it, why is that bad? Is there something wrong with people liking subjectively/objectively shitty shows?
Either way, the whole "Objective" expression made to explain why shows suck is fine and all, but how is that supposed to make people who like the show stop liking it? In general it's opinion and tastes that matter when it comes to enjoying shows anyway.
Badaphor time:
Eating straight butter is objectively bad for you. There's proof that eating 6 bricks of butter is horrible for you. People still enjoy the taste of butter, and some people out there do not care that it's horrible, they will eat those 6 bricks if they want.

But I would never think of claiming that my opinion is the objective truth.
Also, it would be hypocritical of me to complain about people liking qualitatively underachieving things. There are quite a few things that I like, which would be Guilty Pleasure, if I'd actually felt guilty about it.
That said, I just recently finished watching a really great series and a really crappy series. Respectively, they are Eureka Seven and Jinki: Extend.
JE was an interesting experience. You had an intriguing cast of characters (Mel J. Vanette aside; for some reason she bored me), an interesting backstory/setting and story...but very, very poor presentation, including pacing. It turns out that the series was trying to tell two stories at once--those of two different mangas--in just 12 episodes.
That's funny, because I subjectively like it.
To add to your butter metaphor:
Anyway, I think the idea is that you realize how bad the show is and see the error in your ways or something. Not that that'll actually work.
If you want it to be possessive, it's just I-T-S, but if it's suppposed to be a contraction then it's I-T-apostrophe-S. Scalawag.
Let's be honest here - they're both schlock. It's just that one writer has a raging gun fetish whilst the other likes watersports.
@Ian: Here's some more:
According to the reviews, they taste like biscuits.
