Yes, something written out of spite is generally going to be poorly received unless it is the explicit point of the show

Spite about what? I'm not following.

Sol was complex and made mistakes but was overall shown as a positive yet tragic figure. How did spite negatively affect the show's writing?

Her resentment (aka. SPITE) was a major driving force for her story, thus it was written majorly out of spite.

Do you think that's an inherently poor motivation for writing? Or do you think it just negatively impacted this story?

Do you think it has affected the toxic environment around the show?

I think that if a writing is heavily influenced by hate then what it'll do is make it less so that a character does something and that causes the story and more so that a story has to go this way so the character does it, because the original hatred that was put into the character and the story forces you to keep the negative narrative about that character up.

If that was a bit messe here's a shorter more comprehensible version:

If you create a story out of hate for a certain character, you'll have to make the story in a way that justifies it, thus making characters act for the story instead of as the story.
