Why is Ayn Rand's concept of objectivism hated so much?

**EDIT** - Like many of you already pointed out, it is better for me to read a bit about philosophy first a bit more before understanding Ayn Rand. Sorry if I appeared as someone who is ignorant but as much as I love philosophy, I will admit that I am no philosophy student which made me fall into the trap of "you are not a philosophy student, you are stupid" kind of criticism.

________________________________

I have a very general and mild understanding of Ayn Rand's concept of objecitivism which based on what I learned so far, is basically a philosophy involving selfish desires *(as in being a person with your own desires and morals)* and doing whatever you can to endulge your happiness as much as possible

*(to put it in a general sense, it can be seen as generally being a selfish a*****e  which is a concept that the video game "Bioshock" used this philosophy as inspiration a very twisted manner. She also saw the concept of altruism as a flawed concept which is somehow both true and not true considering while we live in a world where there is concept need for survival, meaning that you have to focus on your own desires first, humans are a also social species which also helped maximise their chances of survival)*

This concept seems very similar to that of Nietzche's concept of the Ubermench or the Will to Power, a concept where every human individual should live by their own morals regardless of what society says.

However, in comparison to Ayn Rand, Nietzche is loved and respected among many philosophers while Ayn Rand is mostly hated in general or expressed with contempt by others.

So why is this? Why do people hate Ayn Rand and her concept of objectivism in general?

I'd say it's largely because she's had a huge influence on real life american politics but possess little to no actual philosophical merit or originality. Everybody hates people who write 'pop' books in their field which badly mislead the public, or gain attention above and beyond people doing serious work. 

 Rand has senators and important political actors citing her as a major inspiration, yet you rarely hear about people who contributed in far more significant ways to political philosophy or science. 

She never really had original ideas, presenting a sort of vulgarized Aristotle and Nietzsche, and all the real problems she confronted she basically ignores.
