hater
A person who systematically writes negative, insulting, or hateful comments about other people or things online, especially on social networks.
Der YouTuber liest die Kommentare unter seinen Videos nicht mehr, weil es zu viele Hater gibt.
The YouTuber no longer reads the comments under his videos because there are too many haters.
The word 'Hater' is a direct import from English and is used mainly in youth language and in the context of the internet and social media. It is rather colloquial.
Viele Influencer müssen lernen, mit Hatern umzugehen.
Many influencers have to learn how to deal with haters.
Alongside the noun 'Hater', the verb 'haten' (to hate, to trash-talk) and the noun 'der Hate' (hate online) have also become established in German.
Es ist sinnlos, auf diesen Hate zu reagieren.
There is no point in reacting to this hate.
'Hater' is often used in combination with other words, for example 'Hater-Kommentar' (hater comment), 'Hater-Nachricht' (hater message), or in the phrase 'Hass von Hatern' (hate from haters).
Sie hat schon wieder einen gemeinen Hater-Kommentar bekommen.
She has received another mean hater comment.
fan
'der Fan' and 'der Hater' are clear opposites. A fan likes or admires a person, a group, or a thing. A hater writes negative, often insulting or hateful comments, especially online. So 'Fan' describes approval and enthusiasm, while 'Hater' describes rejection and attack. Important: not every person who dislikes something is automatically a hater. 'Hater' is especially fitting when someone repeatedly comments negatively and aggressively.
Unter dem Video schreiben einige Hater beleidigende Kommentare.
