Definition of «hateread»

To "hateread" something is to read a book, article, or post specifically because you dislike it or find it offensive, often for the purpose of mocking it. This behavior is driven by a strange sense of enjoyment derived from the frustration or superiority the reader feels while consuming the content. It is a common practice in online communities where users share poorly written fanfiction or controversial takes just to criticize them together. The term highlights the paradoxical nature of spending time on media that one actively hates.
