That is usually the case with everything. Film critics are are those
who failed to get any acting jobs. Cooking critics cannot cook.
Sports commentators and critics hare rarely played a game or for that
matter even set foot in a gym. Many back seat drivers do not have
drivers licenses and code critics have rarely written a piece of code.
IME, critics are usually wanabes who haven't amounted to much in life.
As there is nothing positive in "their sad and sorry excuses for lives"
(to take a quote from Tom Leykis) hence all they can contribute is
negativity.
If the critics want to make this a better planet, they should
contribute to society in some way, e.g. an OS project, some charity, or
for that matter at the local food bank. Every positive contribution
made makes this a happier planet to live on. Unfortunately this world
is in the state it is because of critics who fail to lift a finger to
help make a difference or when they do something it's negative and
destructive.
In short, ignore them. They're unhappy and they deserve it.
