How To Deal With The Haters

Sometimes you find yourself lurking your product on Tweetdeck at 2am. Nothing but love. It’s all roses… wait… a hater?! You don’t have to ignore it.

Hate tweet spotted!

Once hate tweets have been fired, you have moments to respond, so responding as soon as the tweet is found is crucial! If you can’t think of a witty response right away, you need a fast tweet to buy yourself some time.

Buy myself some time

I called out my concern, but didn’t spit fire because he only has 27 followers, he was born in 1993, and his profile picture of Clint Eastwood. This is when I start to mentially separate the wins and loses. But it’s 2am and that doesn’t even matter anymore! I’M READY.

Playful banter

My glasses were mentioned… in what I presume to be very negative. He’s testing me. He wants to know how I take a personal attack. I keep it cool. I play the game, toss in a quick edit of his profile photo wearing my glasses. I need to let him know I’m cool… I’m on his sideeee.

I’ve broken the user

I passed his personal test. I’ve won the user over. He gave me a public laugh, and followed me immediatly after. With 27 followers I can imagine the twitter excitement is slim to none.

Actual Inquire

Clearly kevinbrown1993 is insane.

Ignore everything he’s said and dish back

I send a final #seeyouinhell hashtag to lighten the mood and level of my anger. Which might have made things a little worse.

He retaliates

When a hater sends you a photo of themselves flipping you off, you’ve won. It’s best to bring this fight to an end.

Resort to your good friend PhotoShop

Now is when speed tweets come in handy. It is now your mission to respond as quickly as possible. Save as a .gif to hide the poor photoshop skills and post immediately.

Do not accept his respect

It’s now time to end the hate banter once and for all and bring back something mentioned in the initial hate tweet. Full circle hate.
