I haven't read Colleen Hoover nor do I plan to - but I agree w. your msg
I'll share a personal experience - although I'm small fry in the online writing world, one time I got badly trolled, one of the trollers asked me what did I expect since I write online - lol
Now you tell me, Okywy, what did she mean by that? Btw she was hating on me because her friend hated on me - not because she had an opinion ;)
also, the article that was hated on did very well thanks to those who actually enjoyed the content
