The most visible things always get the most criticism. You can’t criticize what you can’t see.
It’s also popular to hate on Wal-Mart, Exxon, and Goldman Sachs. Why? Because they’re some of the largest companies on Earth. No one really hates on John’s Hardware Store down the street, because no one outside of the ‘hood even knows about it.
Hate and criticism is a sign of success. How do you know you’ve made it as a “popular Quoran?” Not just from the followers… but from the trolls too.
Being hated upon isn’t always a negative thing. If your opponents hate you, it means you’re doing something to get their attention… something they don’t like. If they ignore you, you’re doing something wrong.
