Three people discuss why online haters target things they secretly like or admire. They reference Katt Williams on attracting haters and argue that hateful comments boost engagement metrics. The conversation suggests haters project their own unhappiness, and creators can turn the negativity into a joke or merch.
Have you ever seen that Katt Williams stand-up where he's like, you gotta figure out a way to get 30 haters by this summer or something like that? And he's like, you ain't got nobody to hate on, feel free to hate on me. And I'm like, I love that philosophy. Haters typically only hate good things. Like you wouldn't hate on somebody who you think's below you. So I got, dude, I got so many haters.
And that means they see you. Yeah, and they're still commenting. Haters commenting is engagement. And then you come back to the next video, watch it and comment hate comments again. That's what's funny.
You should tell them they're the most supportive fan.
Yeah, I'm like, thanks for— I'll reply sometimes like, thanks for helping.
You're boosting my engagement.
Yeah, my favorite comment to reply with is like, I'm sorry, I can't make everybody happy. And they're like, oh God, like, I, I want to like him now. But no, I got a great comment on Facebook the other day. This guy says, you have a very punchable face.
And I was like, what's the point?
It made my day though. I was like, I love it.
I just want to make a t-shirt.
Bear in mind, whenever they're commenting that stuff, what Like, what do you think caused— like, are they just bored? Are they jealous?
My whole philosophy is people that like to hate outward hate inward, so it's more than likely they're unhappy with themselves.
