Was TWD always hated by Reddit?

I'm new here but already know the users' favorites (GOT, mainly) and hates. Especially TWD. I mean, it's not a perfect show but the hate here is so big people say it's "terrible" - which let's agree is exaggeration.

Was it always like this? Or the cliffhanger and S7 were determinant? If S8 is good, will the hate ton down a little bit, or just increase for another season? And why do people do this? You can't even say "TWD" in /television, you get hate.
