FAANG just wants immediate, perfect solutions. The OA is also now exclusively hards. People on Blind talking about giving interviews and only accepting perfect, canned solutions. No talking through, no hints, or you fail.

Blind is full of trolls and you shouldn’t take them too seriously. You should apply to FANG yourself and see how it goes.
I've done 700+ LC and I still regularly get stuck on Meds/Hards, but I imagine if you know all these concepts and can explain tradeoffs during an interview, you have a better chance of passing than someone who immediately spits out a memorized solution but can't explain why they chose that specific approach over another.
