Paying people to complain about things has never made much sense to me. Roger Egbert was the laziest form of entertainment. Reviews are pointless in an era of ubiquitous communication, and public critique never truly leads to better art as much as it leads to safer art.
I'm against the article's existence, but I'm also against the idea that the author should be told to complain about romance novels, too. The criticism of the criticism is bad, but the initial criticism is still boring and offers nothing new.
