Flora G ~~ Always been critics: always will; internet access will no more drive them out thatn the predicted demise of the theatre occured when film came along; nor was the film killed by tv or dvd or whatever ...

Note this first stanza-and-a-half from Kipling's The Conundrum of the Workshops:-

When the flush of a newborn sun fell first on Eden's green and gold,        
Our father Adam sat under the Tree and scratched with a stick in the mould;        
And the first rude sketch that the world had seen was joy to his mighty heart,        
Till the Devil whispered behind the leaves: "It's pretty, but is it Art?"        

Wherefore he called to his wife and fled to fashion his work anew—                 
The first of his race who cared a fig for the first, most dread review
