- Complains about the help pages: too much content, too many pages, but it's because he just wants to ask a noob question.
- Wrote a low quality question which not only had unnecessary cruft ("I'm new to react", "can someone please help me"), it had no details, showed no research effort, no baseline code or attempt from which to start off. Later in the video he admitted not reading the official documentation.
- Complains about receiving a downvote after 40 seconds, saying that isn't even enough time to read it.
- Complains about the comments received, saying that most of them are not helpful or unfriendly.
- He even goes into some of the profiles to see their reputation and badges, as an attempt to defend the stance that these "unfriendly commenters" just have a large ego.
- According to him, Meta SO is "the place where Stack Overflow gurus clap for each other".
- After the question was closed, he edits the existing question into something substantially different. He realizes that this does not automatically open the question (well duh), so he just chooses to delete it.
- Goes "This is really unfriendly" at the fact that deleted content counts towards a ban.
- The usual "downvotes without comments" complaint
- Had to wait 4 days before asking a new question, despite the user interface at some point suggestion that he only had to wait 1 day after 2 days (so 3 days?).
- After 4 days, he then reasked the question and deleted the previous one. This one was not amazing, and still had a lot of meta-commentary, but it was better than the first one.
- This time it was quickly answered by a carebear. Checked the answerer's profile, lots of reputation and badges.
- Used a comment for follow-up questions, answerer edited the answer to extend to the inquiry.
- Then showed some other examples of other bad questions which were poorly received.
- He argues that there are tons of questions like this because "new people are just starting out, searching on stack overflow, they're looking these things up and not finding any answers".
- Identifies the pattern that the people leaving the "unfriendly" comments are the same people that point out the rules and act like "the police of Stack Overflow"
- keeps arguing that they do this either for points, or due to lacking emotional intelligence and social skills
- "By the way, this is the same commenter that gave me a downvote and left me a nasty comment"
- But at some point also looks at the commenter's profile better and realizes that they have been helpful by posting lots of answers. Goes back to the theory of just doing it for points or because they're socially inept.
- "Sometime people forget that they're actually dealing with other people"
- Suggests using ChatGPT to assist in writing comments in a friendly way
- Shows a bunch of very toxic YouTube comments at the end of the video ,from 16:03 to the end
