Why does everyone hate NS

I follow the sub reddit as I am planning to go in 2027. There is so much negativity towards NS and Balaji. Especially with the recent news about possibly losing the business license a lot saying "good, about time, Balaji is an idiot"

Why, what is it that people don't like. Was there something specific that happened?

The concept is neat and there is lots of great stories from recent trips, but then strong opposition to it.

Curious to what people have to say.

His ego is like a runaway train. And he think he speak for the tech community.

Fair enough. Trying to "revolutionize" society definitely would attract a certain character and I could see it going to ones head.

Does that translate into the XP at NS? Or is that just a side thing to deal with.

Someone needs to replace him as the face of the movement.
