Abstract: Nowadays,activities of critique are becoming consumerized marked by signs of leisure,commercialization and privatization.Five factors have made this possible.They are: the intellectuals assuming a neutral attitude,the taste of the mass gaining more power,the relay of the mass media turning dramatic,semiotic and fragmental,the spectacular of the society,and the loss of critique distance.While consumerization of critique may function as self-treatment of anxiety of modernity,it also lowers the standard of cultural life.Possibilities that critiques may initiate are checked,and critiques compromise with the capital.How to get out of the trap of consumerization of critiques is a major task for study.As far as the intellectuals are cncerned,it is of utmost importance to adhere to principles of honesty and sincerity.

Key words: critique, consumption, public, private, capital
