A complaint I keep seeing (mostly in the Bad Place) is that critics should be reviewing MICHAEL for what it is, rather than what they think it ought to be. But sometimes critics have a moral obligation to reject the terms a movie sets for itself, or at the very least to interrogate those terms.

The missing piece of the equation explaining why so many critic positions are being eliminated is the little AI summaries at the top of Google results, which reduced click-throughs drastically. Once again, a tech company has stolen human labor and monetized it and doesn't care about the impact.

What is common knowledge in your field, but shocks outsiders? Academic publishers make vast profits, but don’t pay royalties to academics. Instead, universities pay publishers to make the research that the universities have funded widely available, and then pay them again to access other research.
