New Hater App Suits Those Sick of Liking Everything

People who are sick of being limited to the choice of liking something on such social media networks as Instagram and Facebook will be delighted to learn that Jake Banks has developed an app just for them.

His new Hater App enables the user to express the more negative range of their emotional reactions to things posted on social media such as disgust, dislike and downright hateful feelings. Individuals using Banks new Hater App can also join forces with groups of other people who hate a variety of things, according to topics, subjects, people and posts.

“It’s really an answer to everything out there in social media. All you can do is ‘like’ things,” Banks told Mashable. “I don’t want to be the guy pretending to be someone I’m not. I want to be real and say, ‘I’m sitting in traffic and I hate this.'” While you can post a comment like that on Facebook or Twitter, Banks’ contention is that providing a dedicated community for dislikes frees up users to re-think the type of posts they share and vent a bit.

The Hater App is already available for download to the iPhone and is expected to be ready to add to Android systems by the beginning of summer.

Hater App users should proceed with caution, however, as Banks reports that cyberbullying is not allowed and that any comments deemed libelous by a third party may make the user subject to legal action.

“It doesnt have to be so negative,” he says. “You might hate something so much you want to change it, which is the complete opposite of what happens when you Like something.”
