Which one is worth more?
Often feedback is something you ask for whereas criticism is something you get given.
And so there is the idea that criticism is always negative and feedback is useful which in some ways I think is true.
I think that both are worth something if they’re specific and can be used to make improvements but the circumstance should also be considered.
Letting a restaurant know the food arrived cold is worth more than telling an author that their book was bad because you didn’t enjoy it. Nobody enjoys cold food that’s supposed to be hot but there will always be people that like stories about aliens.
And so it’s not a conversation about criticism and feedback but instead objectivity and subjectivity.
