Here's what I can glean from the thread and stuff in general.
1) Salt is very popular and one of the biggest artists - when you're at the top you naturally have a lot of haters.
2) People don't like his comics for various reasons - in general they think they are paced strangely or don't have a ton going on. The comics seem to get the most acual hate on the board, people have mixed reactions. The weight aspect is the biggest part - people were bad at beach stuff for having no weight gain, or the most recent comic's cartoony belly hiding. Comics are naturally always going to draw ire though because a comic is much more than a single pinup and as such theres more judgement
3) The size thing where people complain about Salt drawing blobs - people have noticed he's been drawing larger and larger girls and naturally, people tend to enjoy it less or more depending on your taste. What doesn't help is that Salt's OC's are now beyond the mid fat range and most of the girls he draw are quite large (400lbs above), and a fair few are easily in the immobile tier. This is always going to have limited impact because while w lot of people are into this there's equally a set of fans who have various max weights - maybe chubby or maybe like 300lbs or something. They feel that salt is abandoning their tastes.
4) Salt's art is very OC heavy and his commissions are pretty much available only to his highest tiered patrons and a circle of his select friends. His constant drawing of Lucy suggested by Lucyguy is a notable part of this but he also, when not drawing his own OC's, usually draws the same few girls or, if its patreon sketches, other girls OC's. OC content is naturally less popular.
5) If you believe the schizophreniac, Salt is an agent of israel who wants to kill you, spam AI on every board, and kill your children and burn your house down.
I have my issues with Salt but I think he's a fine artist. What strikes me as funny is just the sheer hatedom he developed. There's obviously the schizo who spams his thread, but from that actual haters have shown up. I want to say people hate Salt because be's popular and doesn't draw what they want, and being a large artist he gets scrutinized far more heavily than others.
