Precisely. Those idiots on the internet, especially YouTube, think that pickers are loser bassists who are just guitarists who are trying to be cool, which is not true. Bassists who can distinguish between the sound of picking and fingering (and popping for that matter) are the truly talented ones, and they can use one of them in the situation that fits the music and style best. That is, fingering is for smoother, calmer, groovier, etc. styles, picking is for those punch, usually heaver styles.
What I find quite comical is when those trolls on YouTube post on bass covers of the band Tool "***GOT only PUSSIES use picks". HAHAHAHAHA. Well, turns out that the wonderful bassist Justin Chancellor of Tool uses a pick on almost all songs, look at how create that band sounds. Loser.
