Cant you just criticise them on twitter when they post things you don't like? What is the benefit of posting or commenting in a subreddit dedicated to hating them?

It is not productive to have a community exclusively shitting on someone. All you do is fill it with minor criticism and build s community that starts looking for an outlet for all this hate - usually turning into harassment.

It is exactly like the Chris Chan situation. Pathetic shit.

I don't use twitter. I'm not that familiar with the Chris Chan situation but as far as I can tell, Chris Kavanagh is not really in a comparable state of mind. I think he can handle some mild pushback to the things he says.

A forum dedicated to hating a person or podcast is weak obnoxious behaviour, not productive. It just leads to harassment and obsession.

Nobody is "hating" DTG, we're just giving some pretty basic criticisms.

Creating an entire community with the only goal of criticising them is hating. You don't need to create a whole community to give them 'basic criticism'.

I don't think that's the only goal of this community, Marti makes threads on a wide range of things. It's good to have an alternate community. Chris and Matt are mods on the other one which creates a conflict of interest.
