I don't really understand the motivation of the whisperers. What's their end goal? What do they have to gain by hunting the good guys down? It's not like they're eliminating a threat because they didn't even know the whisperers existed until now, and they likely would never know about them since they hide in plain sight.

Motivation is an important part of characters for me to buy in to what they're doing. Negan's group all had various motivations from maintaining power dynamics to pure survival that led to bad actions. I hope they start to reveal more about the motivations of this group otherwise they're just bad for the sake of being bad, which never makes sense.
The whole point of the Whisperers is that they are mysterious.

I'm sure we'll be learning more about them later. We don't need their motivations spoiled in the first episode.
