It fits the level of computer expertise I expect from a general YouTube commenter, and I suspect there's a string of replies to the comment telling them there's a better way to do it and that subthread has reached Godwin's law.


> subthread has reached Godwin's law

Do you mean Poe's law? Although given the general quality of youtube comment sections, I wouldn't be surprised if Godwin's law[2] applies as well.

No, Godwin's. Whenever I end up reading YouTube comments I'm shocked at how quickly seemingly well intentioned replies end up in 50+ comment flame wars.


I think it's a comment on the length of debate in the comments.
