[QUOTE="TheSword, post: 8289448, member: 6879661"] Yet they don’t come on here and trash other professionals... certainly not in their own names anyway 🥸. Passion is often manifested in tone deafness to how ones criticism is made. Not all forum users. Just the rabidly critical ones We learn how to critique a work in high school. Criticism of the kind seen a lot of time on here would get you an F. Don’t take my word for it, read the threads. I’m not referring to them. I’m referring the people who aren’t critiquing but who are slinging mud. They have an ideological objection to published work, and think because they haven’t written it, it must be worse. It’s not irrelevent in the context I’ve given. Limited market, similar price, similar product, freedom of choice. Marketing can only take you so far. I also don’t how you can see individual reviews as ad Populum. No, the standard should be fairly applied. This leads to Owen Steven’s points that fans think they have the right to level criticism far beyond what is reasonable or normal. There is plenty of critiquing going on, in blogs ane reviews. We have more feedback loops now then at any point in history, with online streaming, unboxing videos, Amazon reviews, endless Reddit’s. I’m just saying there’s a way to do it and still be a decent person you know. [/QUOTE]
