Getting critique from strangers about whom you know little about is of questionable value to me.
I would much rather get critique from people I personally know have experience, knowledge, and ability that goes beyond a post count on some internet forum.
That pretty well sums it up, but a photographer can also benefit by a critique given by a stranger as long as he is honest and polite about what he thinks. The issue may be that we do not create photos for other photographers, but for a customer or the general public. They often have 180 degree views, hence the million dollar photographs that photographers criticize.
