No, you are being quite snarky. It's clear OP wants to discovery content and wants to be suggested stuff. Telling them to stop using it without suggestion ANYTHING even remotely close to a substitute isn't a solution. It's snark.
- cheeze 3y agoTotally agree. This is the standard HN response that is frustrating, because it completely ignores the fact that _the user wants to use youtube, there is no viable alternative, and they are annoyed with a specific feature. This is the equivalent to "don't like how Windows handles X? Just use Linux bro!
- AshamedCaptain 3y agoBut youtube simply doesn't have a decent recovery and/or recommendation system. What do you want to do ?
- danaris 3y agoWords have meaning, and "snark" isn't just "giving someone a response that absolutely does not fulfill their request." Snark is very much about tone, and it is absolutely possible to give a response like the GP with no snark whatsoever. If they give their answer with absolute sincerity, it may be rude, and it may be unhelpful, and it may even be arrogant (it may not—those are all very context-dependent)—but none of those things make it snarky.
