I think that really is your "public" appreciation of something. What you think privately is currently not able to be determined.
That doesn't stop people speculating, assuming, or thinking they can infer your opinions.
I was just attacked on Twitter the other day for "the company I keep" in regards to me simply watching another creators Youtube videos. Got to the point that I had to block them, as they would not stop saying I was supporting bigotry, blah blah blah. No amount of explaination would do anything, they wanted me to completely and publicly disavow this other creator for things I've never heard them even say.
And of course, even if I did that, it would not be enough. It's never enough...
This is what ideological possession does to people.
So your private opinions might be private to you, but that doesn't stop anyone else applying whatever they like to you regardless.
