People love to hate things that are popular, to have that hot take that is different from the norm. After Optic's 2022 year and yay getting the Best Esports Player of the Year at the game awards, he enters the public eye as the best player in Valorant, meaning expectations are super high for 2023, and there will be people that hate him just for being there. After yay's 2023 season of getting kicked from C9 and losing with DSG, the people who hated yay are validated in their "hot takes", and are therefore louder, as well as new people who just want to watch someone's downfall.
Also never trust VLR for a perception of people, yay is a liked and respected player, this is the minority.
