I will never understand the hate towards Pokemon Go

I know a lot of people that still, after months and died down hype, say that everyone playing this game is an idiot and deserve no respect for chasing something that isn't there. And others say that if you okay this game you have no job, or no life. Then there are those afraid of the players, who say that if they step on foot in the direction of their yard for a Pokemon they will shoot them and rid the world of an idiot...despite that no one has service where they live. There is a ton of hate. Apparently you just know awesome people
