In my opinion, criticism is rarely beneficial. It usually undermines the confidence of the person it's directed at, making them second guess the choices they make. Of course that can a good thing if the person is doing something that is flat-out dangerous, but that's usually not the case. Too often the criticisms are needlessly petty or point out things that are either insignificant to the subject, or out of the creators control.
One of my least favourite types of comment is the backhanded compliment, where they lead with something like: "I really enjoyed that..." just to go on to the REAL reason for commenting: "but I think you could stand to lose a few pounds. Have you thought about how unhealthy you are?"
Or: "Awesome! But if I did it I would make it from good solid hardwood, instead of that weak-ass, cheap plywood".
