Could someone enlighten me as to what the purpose/motivation of stating in a commentary something along these lines and others similar in vernacular vein ... serves?

Does it benefit the artist, that is the recipient of said words? (The 'how' would be good in helping me understand this behaviour.)

Or ... someone else?

(*points toward the nearest reflective surface towards the end of introducing some introspection on the part of those that proliferate such comments ...*)
