They were both interesting to read. I thought the advice from Be a Mirror to "take yourself out of the feedback" is a good idea. Feedback should be focused on the writer and not the opinions of the reader. Also, it was nice to see some actual stats in the second article and I appreciate the lesson that positive reinforcement is important. If someone never gets something nice from doing there work or trying hard then the only reason they would continue to do so is their stubbornness. Both articles said the being specific in feedback is important. Which seems obvious to me because the more specific the feedback the easier it is to understand what you did well or what you can do to improve.
From reading these, what's important in giving feedback is being specific and making the feedback about the author and not about your own opinions. Honestly, if you don't like the type of story or the message then go read something else. But if you see something the author can improve or something they did really well, point it out, and do both if you can.
