Yeah, but how many betas are actually qualified to edit and give constructive criticism as opposed to being regular people just like the author who also think they know how to write but may not actually have any more skill just a different opinion of what "good" is?

I've always wondered this. I mean, there are obviously going to be some people who know more about technique and can proofread grammar and nitpick continuity and etc better. But, as far as matters of taste go, aren't we all just peers, here?

I did creative writing courses in university, and the peer-editing was often LESS helpful than you'd think it would be. Half because you've got twenty different people giving you twenty different opinions on your work, and half because it seemed like everyone was just competing to prove that no, THEY were the best writer in the class.

I feel that "good" is so utterly subjective that you've really just got to take what's useful to you, when it comes to criticism, but not lose sight of the fact that your own tastes and opinions are also valid and important.
