There is a healthy amount of skepticism that is required to produce good for the society. It can be adjusted based on supply/demand of such commodity or service. But, by large, skepticism is good. As a creator myself, it is important to equip yourself with the right mentality. I would never blame everyone else for being skeptical. After all, most people mean good and there is often a solid reason they're spending time writing about it.

Highly, highly recommend reading Adam Savage (Mythbuster fame)'s book about creativity and skepticism, it is filled with good wisdom: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/43319933-every-tool-s-a-...
