h8rs

Critics who despise

H8rs is internet slang for haters—people who criticize or express negativity toward someone or something.

The spelling uses the number 8 to replace the letters A-T-E, a style common in early text messaging and online forums: h8rs gonna h8.

The term often dismisses criticism as mere jealousy rather than legitimate feedback.
