The most flattering thing someone can do for you is to base their work off of your work. The easiest way to achieve this is to insult their work.

An insult would make me no longer respect you. Why would I base work off of someone I don't respect?
- Because you make a piece of work attacking my work and defending your own
  
  I would assume that anyone reacting in such a manner is immature and insecure in their own work. Insults are often not worth listening or reacting to, constructive criticism is. However if you respond to proper criticism by attacking the critic then you're an ass.
Insults are an attack and a lack of respect by default, they cannot be considered flattery under any circumstances.
The opposite case is criticism, which, even if it is harsh, can be made with greatest possible respect. Besides, to make a critique, first you have to analyze the work properly, that in itself shows commitment, and THAT'S flattering.
It is not good to assume, but maybe you confused both terms.
- So when people are celebrating their haters, they are insulted? No they are flattered that somebody else spent the energy being angry. If I can stir shit up and make you mad, as long as you won't hurt me I'll love the attention
  
  God what a naive and toxic attitude. This peak toxic troll thinking that has absolutely no place in any useful discourse. With all sincerity, you should really seek help. I really do pity you. This isn't flattery. I'm not angry. I'm not celebrating you. I don't care to hurt you. You're just a sad fool and I hope you find a way to be better.
  
  That doesn’t sound healthy my man
  
  Who in their right mind "celebrate" their haters?
The most flattering thing someone can do is deem your work worthy of adding to, like building on a good foundation. What you're describing is detracting from someone else's efforts to divert their attention from creativity to bickering with you. If they manage to create something good out of it that's a credit to them and nothing but shame for you. I disagree with your take completely.
- It isn't even a take. I'm not like teaching a seminar on it ffs
  Have you ever watched a YouTube video that was a response to someone else's YouTube video? That's all I was thinking about, this entire economy of foul discourse. Is this a super serious shower thoughts comm?
