      I often ask myself: How do we cultivate communities, in games, popular cinema, music, etc., that actually understand the purpose of criticism and that value a diversity of critical perspectives, rather than just wanting reviews that comfort fans and reinforce their beliefs?https://twitter.com/oneunderscore__/status/1288929920966692866 …

      Ebert, who wasn't as divisive as Kael, also got enough flack for this that he occasionally spoke up about it. He was well-established enough that he could write what he wanted, though he probably enjoyed that much power because he was in line with the public most of the time.

      Rosenbaum was my favorite Chicago critic, precisely because he hated most of the stuff I liked, but with fierce intelligence and superb argumentation, and it was frustrating to see him barely hang on by his fingernails his whole career. He was quite vocal about the fact.

      To be honest, I *did* take me several years to come around to genuinely liking Rosenbaum. My initial reaction (in my early 20s) was to dislike him... but since his paper was the only free one I ended up reading him out of sheer laziness. Eventually he broke through.

      I owe my understanding of proper criticism to that (primed, arguably, by Ebert being a decent mainstream gateway). I have no idea how I would have arrived at that had algorithms been siloing me into only what I wanted to hear.

      I had a similar experience with Manohla Dargis, now at NYT of course, but she wrote for the free LA Weekly during the years I was forming my understanding and appreciation of criticism and although I often disagreed with her, I always found her writing thrilling and illuminating.

          Yes! This is a thrilling process. I find it's easy to forget, when you've been there for years, what an initial struggle it was to get there.

          You see this with college students a lot, how they go through that initial "analytical panic" of not being able to be critical and enjoy something simultaneously. It's a skill you learn, a muscle you develop.
