I don't believe a good criticism needs to offer a good solution, but I do think a criticism has to be good enough to recognise the problem being identified

@fasterandworse thank you for this thread. I have a pinned post that got a ton of traction that was just me rephrasing the work of others into a digestible series of posts.

I was very frustrated by people asking me what I would do to fix the problem. I didn't reply to any of them, because I don't have a solution that wasn't the point in the first place.

This thread clarified for my why I was so frustrated--fixing wasn't the work I was trying to do.

@dave i'm glad it connected with you. I think it's important that people feel comfortable putting effort into identifying problems without the need for some kind of leveraged payoff. It's a mechanism of fiction that doesn't apply to the real world
