Because the emperor didn't pay the amount of gold a powerless pretender with no idea what the economical situation of the Byz empire looked like.

I just read a translation of Villehardouine's account of the crusade. His justification fell into essentially two parts:
1. Alexios, son of deposed emperor Isaac (or something like that) actually approached them and requested they attack Byzantium to restore his rightful throne
2. Once this had been accomplished (reasonably bloodlessly), Alexios refused to honor the deal he had been given originally
Camden Nelson
I am rather sure the Emperor did try to pay the money Alexios had promised them, even succeeding in paying half of it.

Complete bullshit. The crusaders laid a siege on Constantinople and when they won they put him on throne but he was removed by the populace before he even did a thing.

Because the citizens thought it was a good idea to try to ovethrow the new emperor while his army is still at the city's doors while waiting to be paid.

For undermining and backstabbing the crusaders on numeros occasions by making deals and alliances with muslims.

Just pay up Alexios, this all could have been avoided
Nicholas Scott
And instead of killing him, they've proceeded to butcher the civilians, loot their houses and churches?

Soldiers want booty. Priests convinced the crusaders that those in Constantinople were heretics.

Nobody hates the Orthodox. Catholics and Protestants often hate each other though. The best way to make a Jehovas witness fuck off is to say you're Catholic
