Maybe the reviewer wanted some undeserved attention.
Formula:
1. find a story/ podcast/ book/ writer/ whatever with a growing loyal cult following
2. trash or criticize said story in "review"
3. Use afore mentioned mediocre "review" to garner hits of your name online and gain notoriety
I have never thought about it before now but it seems viable.
Is it? I'm really asking. This is most definitely NOT my area of expertise.
I guess it could back fire and make you look foolish if the subject of the review takes off. Which is something that is already happening here.
