I’m confused, isn’t criticism without alternatives itself useless and pointless?

No, it broadens and deepens understanding.

Alternatives come from that understanding. Criticism is the fundamental step towards alternatives.

How exactly do you come to that conclusion?

Edit: “Thing bad” doesn’t broaden or deepen anything. “Thing has specific shortcomings which aren’t present in specific alternative to thing” is a useful criticism. Criticism without alternatives is just called complaining.
