I'd call that pessimism. Or life. But not hating.

Urban dictionary definition of hater: http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=hater

A person that simply cannot be happy for another person's success. So rather than be happy they make a point of exposing a flaw in that person.

Hating, the result of being a hater, is not exactly jealousy. The hater doesnt really want to be the person he or she hates, rather the hater wants to knock somelse down a notch.

I don't think his comments are really to do with not being happy about a persons success etc, it's nothing personal, he simply did not believe the idea would take off.
