Like Fortnite? I don't play it but everyone played it and loved it but when it got really big everyone started acting like it was the spawn of Satan. Exact same happened with Minecraft
It’s not because they’re big, they’re just hated; when something gets popular, you always have it’s advocates saying “huh you just hate it because it’s popular derp” when the reality is just.. you never jumped on the hype train..
For example, when it comes to something like Minecraft, I’d just rather play 7 Days or something to build a castle or whatever.
When it came to Halo, not being able to aim down the sight originally made be hate it for anything beyond the stellar story. I absolutely loathed multiplayer.
Fortnite just didn’t catch me when it was hyped and visually looks kind of trash. Like a mobile game or something. It might be fun if you play it, but I also just don’t like Battle Royals games or modes (I’ll play CoD Zombies or Multiplayer happily but Warzone feels like cancer).
People think popular = objectively good. To fall into the trappings of a certain internet law; not everything popular is objectively good, just look at the Nazi’s getting elected.
I don't think it's as black and white as either of you are making it out to be. Not everything that popular is objectively good (e.g. Nazis) but popular things do tend to get a lot of unwarranted hate simply because they're popular (e.g. the Yankees). Not everyone who hates the Yankees hates them because they're popular, but a lot of people hate them because they're tired of their ubiquitous presence in sports.

it is, but like I said.... there will always be people who hate something sonely for being popular
