Haters As A Leading Indicator Of Success by Matt Asay
[...snip...]
What are your thoughts?
I guess as the saying goes, if you have lemons you might as well make lemonade. While I do agree that certainly every successful business will attract haters, I would avoid doing business with any of them that are
proud of it. As I know if I had any legitimate grievance, it'd be pretty easily to just dismiss me as a hater.
And for what it's worth, companies that have a track record of being proud of being hated haven't lasted very long. I remember dadice continually boasting that the haters and controversy was great for it's business. It even stole money from some of its fauceting players to fan the flames of controversy. While maybe it temporarily increased their hit count, they didn't last very long..
Have a read through the article again as it points out legitimate grievances and concerns should be addressed. We also listen to everything and make adjustments and improvements accordingly. We know we have a long way to go but we have come a long way and we are continually improving and appreciate all of the constructive feedback. We know it's a part of business and will always be. When you have people that dedicate time in their day to your business everyday there is something special there and we are thankful.
Excellent comment RHavar.
I think Betcoin found this blog post from 4 years ago when trying to come up with explanation for why they have bad trust and only self-mod thread.
Betcoin deletes posts if they hate them.
They are small site still afte opening years ago. Apple and Microsoft are not like betcoin and Jealousy is not the problem either.
But first, let’s define a “hater.”
There’s valid criticism, and then there’s hate. A hater, according to Urban Dictionary, feasts upon schadenfreude: “A person that simply cannot be happy for another person’s success. So rather than be happy they make a point of exposing a flaw in that person.” Jealousy factors heavily into a hater’s temperament.
Yes, jealousy. After all, no one hates a loser. That company with 1% market share? No one bothers to expend energy trashing it. Not seriously, anyway.
No, haters reserve their hate for the winners.
Urban Dictionary Definition:
hater
Overused word that people like to use just because someone else expresses a dislike for a certain individual.
PERSON 1: I don't like Beyonce's new song.
PERSON 2: You're a hater!!!
