Over at OF Blog of the Fallen Larry has an interesting post on the changing nature of reviewing and criticism. Basically it is a longer (and probably better argued) version of the point I have been making for some time, which is that these days many people don’t want to listen to an “expert” reviewer.
Note for anyone thinking of commentating. Saying “but I don’t think that way” does not invalidate Larry’s observations. Third Law of Fandom.
