So defending my opinion is looked down upon, yet attacking a random person who you seem as a "societal detriment" (this is entirely based off of your opinion and nothing else) is ok? I mentioned that OP was making a large generalization because what he said was extremely disrespectful toward the Youtubers that genuinely work hard at what they do. I see nothing wrong with pointing out generalizations when I find that they present an issue. Obviously we shouldn't be pointing out [b]every[/b] time someone makes an absolute statement that isn't necessarily true, but when it is blatantly offensive to a large group of people, something needs to be said. I understand that OP was trying to make a joke, but unless he makes a disclaimer that he is only talking about certain Youtubers, he is directly insulting not only quality content creators, but he is also insulting those that support them as well. Since I am someone who watches YouTube content regularly, this is very much a battle of my own. Also your theory that having an argument against generalizations is "intellectually dishonest" and that such people are a "societal detriment" is entirely based on your opinion.
