There's also no reason to completely disregard them. It's about balance.
And my taste, combined with the critics, combined with the GPs taste (as expressed through their purchasing habits) is good indication.
And the consensus is that Lemonade is better than Anti by a wide margin. For example, aside from the 93 Metacritic, Lemonade also sold 1+ million more albums, more SPS, and made 20$ million more in revenue not counting the tour.

All you are measuring is their success and popularity. Quality is 100% subjective. There is no such thing as "objectively better" in music.

Why would we even consider a white male fomo's opinion who hasn't graduated from high school/is a drop out and works a minimum wage job?

Exactly, there's no difference. Someone writing for a publication shouldn't make you value their opinion more. It should be a personal consideration. If someone has eclectic taste and listens to a lot of languages and genres then I know they're my type of music listener and I'll value their opinion more (at least in terms of recommendations). There's no way to get that from a metacritic score.
