So what? You need to grow a thicker skin

Building an audience and selling a product is in large part about rejection. You will get tons of comments like that. Haters are going to hate, no matter what you do

Yes, it hurts, but just keep going. If the top comment represented everyone’s sentiment, your post wouldn’t have gotten 200+ upvotes (congrats by the way, not an easy feat)

I don’t complain, don’t get me wrong.

I just point out the absurdity of this gladiator games that everyone seems to enjoy too much.

I don’t get offended by negative comments, as long as they are constructive, I see them as bliss.
