10 Things TikTok’s Biggest Hater Actually Loves

If your TikTok feed doesn’t come with a fresh list of recommendations every time you open it, I envy you. I can only save so many $20 blowouts, viral mango sticky rice sundaes, and celebrity-endorsed pizza spots (that I am never going to visit) before my Google Maps starts convulsing. Somewhere between the Goop-ification of every neighborhood and waiting an hour in line for mediocre frozen yogurt, I found myself rooting for gatekeeping again. Enter Adam Rotstein, better known to his 132K Instagram followers as Rotbot. Rotstein has built a following off being a Professional Hater™, roasting the internet’s favorite enclaves and the people who make them insufferable. No one is safe from Rotstein’s wrath—Pasadena’s yummy mummies, Williamsburg’s whiskey-neat-drinking Equinox bros, and Los Feliz’s cold-plunge hipsters have all earned a spot on his roast list. As Rotbot hates his way through the country’s most self-serious neighborhoods, we had only one question: What does the internet’s favorite hater actually love in life? We called him to find out.
