TopDishy Critics
Get featured. Show your full reach.
Critic membership puts your profile on TopDishy's curated discovery surfaces and shows your social-network presence — without changing how dishes, rankings, or feeds get scored. Anyone can post. Critics get the platform spotlight.
Cancel anytime. Your profile, follows, and posts stay yours.
What critic membership unlocks
Featured in the Critics directory
Your profile appears in /critics, where TopDishy users browse for critics to follow. Non-critics never appear there — directory placement is the membership benefit.
Your own featured page
Hero image, expertise pills, ranking-authority tiers, and category criteria — all rendered in a layout reserved for critics. Free profiles use a simpler shape.
Show your full social presence
Display Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, X, and blog links on your public profile. Free profiles can store the links but don't display them — critics get the showcase.
Surface your ranking authority
Earned tiers — Local Expert → Regional → National → Global — render prominently on your featured page. The tiers themselves are earned by anyone with ranking breadth and stay yours if you cancel; critic membership is what surfaces them on the featured layout.
See who's watching
Distribution analytics: profile views, new followers, ranking-page clicks, and directory impressions. Available to critics only.
The "Critic" label
A neutral membership pill on your profile and posts indicating you're a paying member of the Critics tier.
Critic membership never changes how dishes, rankings, feed posts, or search results are scored or ordered. A critic's review carries the same algorithmic weight as a free user's — that's the point. Membership buys distribution on dedicated surfaces, not ranking position.
