A lot of video platforms judge the quality of a video and promote it or not according to how long people watch, so if people obey things like “Watch until the end,” it has the effect of rigging the metrics so that it’ll get spread more widely (as compared with a video that people click away from whenever they personally feel they’ve seen enough.) That’s why that type of statement is clickbait-y; I’m not saying that was your intent in saying it, just that that’s the impact it has and why some people react negatively to it.

What are these important things he said at the end? Why are you resisting just laying out the high-level theses of the video in a manner that people can digest in a minute or two? This whole approach of coming out of the gate ordering people to devote 15 minutes of their time watching a video, whether they decide based on watching a little bit that they want to finish it or not, is just being commanding to people and incredibly disrespectful of their time. I think that’s probably the main reason you’re getting a negative reaction.

I’ll put it this way: I generally agreed with a wildly popular (edit: unpopular) “anti-Mozilla” post if you want to call it that, I devoted enough time to watch the majority of this video before I decided I’d had enough, I devoted enough time to neutrally summarize some of its points to people and I agree with the validity of some of them. Personally I prefer Chrome over Librewolf. As not at all a “Firefox fan,” there were also definitely elements of this video that moderately pissed me off. Mainly I’m trying to relate to you why I think this post is getting a negative reaction. I can’t make you want to hear that if you’ve already decided to yourself what’s what, but that was my feeling if you’re open to hearing it.

So:

  • You don’t want to invest the time to communicate your point effectively, even when people specifically ask you to tell them what you’re saying
  • You don’t want to hear other what other people have to say to broaden your own point of view, if they “think they know better.”

Sounds like a recipe for a lot of frustrating interactions to me.

Yep, and I just wanted to share with you how you might be able to successfully share this with others, instead of just getting downvotes and resistance. But you’re clearly not interested right now. Good luck.
