How has it made them redundant? Reviewers don’t just suggest ‘yes’ or ‘no’. A good critic can guide you through moments to listen for, or how the album fits in an artist’s career, or where it might fit within the moment it’s made in, or the culture it comes out of and a variety of other things.
the taste has turn too esoteric to be covered by mass media. plus, image/text boards can effectively crowd source enough background commentary as one may wish
no offence but these people would be better off writing music itself. spotify/yt autoplay algorithm have made reviewers redundant
