If You Want To Succeed... Start Hating

In today's world, hating has become one of the quickest ways to grab attention, money, and social capital. Whether it's Drake dissing the entire rap game & their Baby moms covertly, Kendrick Lamar stirring up drama before album drops, Joe Budden generating engagement on his podcast by tearing down artists, or even Eminem and Nicki Minaj taking shots at the younger generation to stay in the spotlight, negativity has become a top 5 marketing strategy. It's not just famous figures either—everyday creators use this method to relate to their audience or attract attention by critiquing or hating on others.

So, why is this happening? There’s a real correlation between unhappiness, pessimism, and this behavior. Many people are frustrated or feel left out of success, and projecting that anger onto others makes them feel a little better, even if only temporarily. For others, hating is trendy. It’s fun, it gets a reaction, and in the age of social media, it’s a surefire way to generate clicks, likes, and maybe even a paycheck. But despite how common it is, this shouldn't be how we navigate our world.

Unfortunately, it’s so ingrained in society now that it’s hard to imagine things changing anytime soon. The internet almost runs on hate at this point, with negative comments and viral feuds drawing more eyes than positive news. But it doesn’t have to stay this way forever. What do you think? Can we move past this cycle, or is hating here to stay?
