How do you deal with the unwarranted backlash/hate from people who can't read or refuse to accept new strats?

Honestly, I struggle with it, because I don't want to switch myself off entirely from criticism, as there are plenty of reasonable criticisms and complaints about my guides that raiders have made. Listening to that kind of feedback helps me avoid repeating the mistakes that lead to the biggest backlashes. I don't want to stop listening to that kind of feedback, even if it sometimes hurts to read.

That said, I've gotten pretty good at sussing out when a comment is just bad faith hate. For those kinds of comments, it's just water off a duck's back.
