    I have seen a few times mentioned that a lot of people hate John Cow (http://johncow.com), and I'm not sure why. I went to his blog, and it looks like it has a great design. I didn't read any articles, nor do I know him personally or anything, so I can't say I like or hate him, but I just don't know why so many people don't like him.

    Why should anyone hate him in the first place? He is just maintaining a nice site and a popular one. If you don't like it, don't visit it. Nothing to hate him about.

    Well Whoever John C(h)ow is, at least we both see it and don't understand it.

    Maybe somebody can clear it up. :)

    Well, since hate comes from fear, apparently those who hate him fear him. Now what could they possibly be afraid of? ;)

    Some people will hate you when you're on top. Nothing special about it. So natural.

    I think a lot of people hate him because some of his post are pretty useless yet he makes lots of money and has a large following

    John Chow does a great job at self promoting. He has the Midas touch. Both websites are great and very entertaining.

    I think that is more of envy and jealousy of others' success. I don't think you can really make lots of money with useless posts, he did have a talent for promotion.

    I don't hate him, but I don't like him for a few reasons:

    1) He's arrogant
    2) His posts stink (lots of sponsored posts)
    3) He lives in Canada :p

    There's just something about the way he looks that makes me not like him. You know what I'm talking about? Have you ever seen these types of people that you just don't like without meeting them? He might be an alright guy in real life though. But yeah, I don't hate him. Good on him for his success. He must have done something right.

    John Chow makes about $30,000 every month from his blog. This apart, he has other businesses to take care of, from which he rakes in money like anything. Do you he gives a rat's ass about what his haters think of him??

    His website is always great finding out what he ate for lunch. Aside from that info there isn't much else use for it.

    He's mad gay because it's not even a real person. He's getting traffic from his confusing mis-leading domain...
    He gets traffic from people trying to go to johnCHow.com and now his PR is so high and crap...it's a shitty site.
