It’s been nearly a year since we had a Top Ten Most Critical of the Month post. We did this every month with diaCRITICS 1.0, and then in transitioning to diaCRITICS 2.0 last year, we suffered some technical glitches that disrupted the listing of the Top Ten. So here are the posts that got the most views, in ranked order, for October. Following that is a list of the Top Ten Most Critical Posts of All Time for diaCRITICS 1.0 and the New Top Ten Most Critical Posts of All Time for diaCRITICS 2.0, which includes six new additions to the Top Ten.
