I posted an opinion of mine about The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho and people in the comments say that I was just hating it because it was popular even though I completely stated why I did not like reading the book. Some people are toxic when you have a different opinion than them or the majority. And that applies to any community.

Is The Alchemist still popular? It's a classic I guess, but I recall everyone hating it back in high school.

Well somebody makes a post on it literally every day on this sub, so it is clearly still selling...

I didn't think it was ever popular at all, just that people knew of it.
