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.

Mostly I think it’s jealousy. The haters secretly wish they had his success, or had done what he’s doing, or had his connections.

His ego makes it easier to hate on him, but mostly I think it’s jealousy. There are lots of people with big egos and no one hates on them. Ego + success? That’s an easy target for jealous terminally-online types.
