The cliché of critics being failed artists is tired and folks used it only when they're mad at a bad reception.

I mean to be fair… most critics are people who have never found success in their respective industry and just gained followings through publications (and nowadays social media) thanks to connections. Grace Randolph for instance, she’s an academy voting member and a critic who’s reviews and votes go towards Rotten Tomatoes, but she’s never even been on the set of a movie in her life. 

I’m of course not defending him. I think he’s a pretty lame movie maker (can’t even bring myself to say he’s a director or producer tbh), but almost every critic nowadays are just pseudo-famous people with connections, primarily down to the fact in the advent of social media—people don’t trust “experts” anymore, because their proximity to products makes them biased (apparently)
