HATERS GONNA HATE

I recently discovered something very disturbing. Did you know that there are blogs out there that are solely devoted to hating successful bloggers? I am serious. That is all they post about. 
They have chosen various bloggers that have a large following and commercial success and they and their readers attack, insult, belittle and criticize everything these bloggers do on a daily basis. 
What have these people done to deserve this vitriol? Well let's see. 

• They have created blogs that struck a cord with their readers
• They have a very large readership
• They post consistently 
• They make money from their blogs
• They have other commercial opportunities due to the success of their blogs
• They have interacted with their blog followers using social media sites

What sorts of brilliant observations do these hacks come up with? 

• Someone is fat
• People who follow a popular blog are sheeple
• If you are successful and the media pick up on it you are egotistical and delusional
• You neglect your family

I don't understand this phenomena and I am disgusted by it. If you don't like a blog don't read it. If you don't like the person who writes the blog move on. If you don't have anything to write about that is not filled with hate then perhaps you should find another outlet for your venom like spitting into the wind or something. 
I wish the successful bloggers even more good things for 2013 because success is definitely the best revenge.
