I, myself, consider that yes, the opinions of the majority is objective.

What would be objective then? Nothing would be objective.

What would be the point of acknowledging the word subjective if you don't acknowledge the word objective?

You are wrong.

In the case of the arts, the only way you can apply "objective" to the majority opinion is that saying that the opinion of the majority, objectively speaking, is this. Now, you would need to make a formal poll and tally the answers and go through all that nice bit of screening and sampling to make sure your sample is representative of the population. Then you could say, "Objectively, the opinion of the majority is this:"

But that is only the fact of the opinion that is objective, which is say that you can objectively say their opinion is [blank]. The opinion itself is still subjective, not objective.

There is no objectivity when it comes to determining the merits of art.

You and I think alike.
