So for instance if a neurodivergent or non-social person acts in a way you disapprove, it's OK to bully them, according to you? Just so we're clear.

Fix yourself.

Phrases like this or "stop being a weirdo" are aggressive, insulting, and only work for you to feel superior to the OP.

Even something like "you have a lot of unsolved issues, you should see a therapist before attempting to befriend your ex", though equally blunt, is less deliberately insulting.

Yup. Paraphrasing an old IT saying, you cannot grep Youtube videos.

One can debate if is better to create good, indexable articles that can reach a moderate number of people, or run-of-the-mill videos that reach millions but are less useful.

Not everyone has the attention span required to read through a Wikipedia page.

I contend that such lack of attention span makes difficult to learn anything in any way.

get involved for real, in the three-dimensional world, and trying to change all these awful things we’re all posting stories about all day

Well, more power to those who do, but in many places doing that gets you killed.

I hate the number of people teaching useful things using videos instead of writing articles.

Well, you're convinced that the whole world is against you, so I'm sure you don't sleep.

Work is not high school. A few instances of you getting your phone and saying "Do you mind repeating that while I record you, so I can discuss with HR how you're creating a hostile environment?" should at least curb some of those attempts at bullying.

A well placed label is no insult.

Ah yes, stargates, the rotary phones of interstellar communications.

Only on Earth. Everybody else uses touch tones.
