Are critics a plague? They hold great power of those in their specialty and, even though most will deny it to their dying breath, they often affect the industries total sales numbers. They get paid well, do little but sample foods, watch movies and television, and play video games for a living and write what they thought about it. If they write a positive review then that particular product will flourish, but if they write a bad one total sales will drop. Most will fall back on the age old excuse "do you really need us to give good opinions for you to purchase a product, we write an opinionated review and give gerneralizations" or something like that. There are people who purchase items based purley on reviews and if you can tell me that a movie or game review has not slightly tweaked you opinion on an object then you lieing because we humans have a instinct to go with the flow. Are critics nescisarry does there need to be people who critisize others work while not being able to do better themselves. On the flip side a review can give you a general idea about what a product is or does, and will keep some people from taking advantage of others. What are your thoughts?
