"Shame on You!" – When Mallorca Happiness Becomes a Target Online

Answer

Why do people receive so much hate after sharing happy news from Mallorca on social media?

A happy post from Mallorca, especially from someone with a large following, can also trigger envy, moral judgments, or trolling. That does not excuse the behaviour, but it helps explain why private moments so often become public targets.
