90% of YouTube comments are hive mind borderline bot generated "direct quote from video" foam finger NPC I'm with stupid verbal diarrhea.

Ryan gets a pass, fine, sure, but goddamn.. I watched (and yes, enjoyed as a guilty pleasure) a few of those and YouTube recommended me this crime against humanity: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ap3JGsCAu9A

I never thought I'd say this but there is such a thing as too Canadian. Enough already. Go kick a cat or something to balance it out.

At the same time, I recognize there is a lot to be learned from that guy. God I hate marketing. And humans. I mean love. Everything will be fine, just remain positive.

Using commas between adjectives would help with readability to optimize your content engagement. As it stands, it can be difficult to distinguish between adjectival phrases that use nouns like "foam finger." Since diarrhea can be foamy with integrated gaseous contents and I guess can be initiated with a finger (maybe?), it is unclear if the phrase should be "foam, finger, verbal diarrhea" or "foam finger, verbal diarrhea."

Apt username, haha. But you can't impose your finicky grammar unto rants.

The lack of commas was a deliberate stylistic choice meant to express grumpy breathlessness. I am like James Joyce. Or Dr. Cox from Scrubs.

It is a fine thing to hold one’s HN comments in such regard. I’m not so ant-footed to impose anything but submit an offering for your consideration should you wish to geld such a lilly.
