I think it’s not so much hate, more a concern that as more people see Zwift and Strava as what cycling is about, the more the local cycling level suffers. Less people joining clubs means clubs fold, less people to organise/marshall races means less races, makes it harder for racers to get into races. Which makes it a vicious circle, once a race or club goes they are usually gone forever, which is incredibly sad. Think that’s what upset a lot of people who’ve been cycling/racing for years, not so much hate, more a fear for the future of grass roots cycling.
