Why is there so much hatred towards 火影忍者 on the internet?

I wouldn't call myself a "hater", but I started watching 火影忍者 in December 2013. Before then, I've heard bad things about Naruto, people saying it sucks and stuff like that. I watched one episode of 火影忍者 and a part of a movie (the first one with the ice land thing lol) before I met my friend that got me into Naruto. Anyways, because initially I thought 火影忍者 was supposed to be a bad anime, I never really gave it a chance. I really thought the whole 日本动漫 was going to be a lot of ninjas (or guys 表演 like ninjas because they don't look like ninjas at all) just 树 jumping.
Even when I saw the first subbed episode in December, I was still kinda skeptical if it was good 或者 not. But because my friend really wanted me to watch it, I did and I liked it....a lot...the first episode was one of the best episodes of the 日本动漫 actually (and it had no Kakashi, amazing) xD So, I'm guessing most of the haters are just people that never watched 火影忍者 and they just hear its bad, and think its bad.

I have three possible reasons.

1.) The popularity. Because it's the most 流行的 of the "Big Three" (Naruto, Bleach, One Piece) and some people think other animes deserve 更多 attention. This is similar to the reason people might dislike Hatsune Miku. She's not bad, it's just that some would rather have others like Rin/Len be 更多 popular.

2.) The plot. If 你 take all of the little details out of it, it's a bunch of uniquely dressed ninjas fighting eachother with at least one flashback guaranteed for each fight scene. I hate to say it, but there are other animes out there with better plot. Maybe some people that hate on it don't like the shounen genre in general and choose to hate on 火影忍者 since it's a really 流行的 shounen.

3.) The fans. (I'm referring to the obsessive, stubborn fans.) There are 粉丝 of 火影忍者 that are the ones who have probably not dug deeper into 日本动漫 than the Big 3. This is totally fine 由 me, but sometimes they get annoying and say things like, "Naruto is the best 日本动漫 ever, and 你 are stupid for not liking it!" When they do this, some people argue against them, making it seem like they don't like it as much as they might actually like it.

I'm not a 火影忍者 hater, I just know a few reasons that haters might dislike it.

Tsk. Because they're haters with no life whose only purpose is to hate on what's popular. 或者 because they have no opinion of their own and only jump on a bandwagon to appear "cool" but are actually lame. Seriously, I don't know what's to hate on. The story is decent to say the least, (most) of the characters are great and have depth, it has character development, great OSTs, fights, etc. The 'problems' people may find in it is only because Shonen Jump requires those things (ex: flashbacks, powerups, etc.) But 火影忍者 does it beautifully. It's a pretty good anime/manga. I'll NEVER understand those haters really. -_-'
