I have a feeling you are generalizing the overall quality of YA books simply because they fit within a demographic. There are books within the YA demographic that have merit and deserve being talked about, even though it may be surrounded by other books within that demographic which are shit. If I may use a non-/lit/ example, its like how people new to manga say 'all shonen and shoujo manga are shit, I only read seinen'. Just because shonen (young boy) or shoujo (young girl) manga is aimed at a particular demographic doesn't make it bad, and just because a manga is aimed at the seinen (adult male) demographic doesn't make it good.

I won't argue that something like Divergent or Twilight has literary content worth talking about, but calling all YA content as low as Twilight is an overreach.
