I would consider hyperbole worse than snark, when considering if a post has value under the site guidelines.

I disagree, despite how much the hyperbolic posts I see on this site annoy me.
Assuming good faith, hyperbole is at worst intellectually lazy. It is, however, sometimes a useful rhetorical device.
Snark, on the other hand, is directly disrespectful of the content it is replying to. This signals that the snarker is not going to discuss the subject in good faith and disincentivizes further discussion.
