Whereas all my stuff probably is a load of crap, there are
people whose stuff isn't, and some of those will be
commented upon askance on review and IMDB websites, or
as YouTube comments or whatever. The value of the
critique on such places is at best floccipaucinihilipilificated
by comments
which are merely snarky and destructively
critical, possibly because the commenter holds themselves
to such a high standard that they simply don't bother to put
anything of their own out there.
This can be prevented by insisting that anyone who submits
a comment or review on a creative work first submits a
link to a creative work of their own before the comment
can be approved. Granted, this work could just be the
word "blue" repeated 100 000 times, but everyone would
know, mark and inwardly digest that this was so.
Oh, and it is a CAPTCHA. The people submitting the
dragging down comments in such places are clearly
behaving robotically and have somehow been pulled into
not being real online, so they aren't real people.
This will improve the quality of their critique and make
the interaction more authentic.

With respect, I don't think one can floccinaucinihilipilificate transitively. Although a bot might be able to. |

Oddly the entrance bar for this place remains low. One
wonders about the conditions that keep it out of the realm
of Breitbart troll territory. |

One most certainly can. I can
floccinaucinihilipilificate, and you can be
floccinaucinihilipilificated. Intransitive
floccinaucinihilipilification would be pointless. |

The entry bar is indeed low. The idea is to put oneself out
there and expose oneself to criticism rather than carping
from the sidelines without risk. |

"So, where's your stuff ?"
"Minimalist."
"Ah, right then... carry on." |

[ ] wouldn't that tend to support only the artists' artist (that's possibly a conundrum) ? |
