Honestly if they are close enough to what you like it can be manageable. A critic that knows enough about themselves to understand why people like things they don’t they can be very worthwhile.
Some critics notably just don’t like action movies. An action movie B for them is probably a solid A for most.
Also for as much hate as it gets, places like Pitchfork where critics actually speak their mind are important.
I’m thinking the world just needs more one-off prolific critics that really give you how they feel about things. It’s funny that IGN is talking here, as they are very well known for being paid off and using the 70-100 rating scale so they don’t piss anyone off.
