the video doesn't dispute the benchmarks of the 9900, but rather they dispute the published compared benchmarks of the ryzen 7 2700X, which used default, unconfigured memory settings to push the benchmark down, while the 9900 benchmarks used configured memory settings (as it should)

Did you even watch the video?

The last line of your comment is wholly unecessary (and explicitly not allowed on HN)

so we can't call someone out who apparently didn't even watch the linked content, while still posting a comment that criticizes the content?

I'm curious about where in the rules it says we shouldn't call someone out on their BS.

From the guidelines

"Please don't insinuate that someone hasn't read an article. "Did you even read the article? It mentions that" can be shortened to "The article mentions that.""

I don't want to split hairs here, but the linked content is not an article. I understand the spirit of it, but it technically does not apply here.

Upvoted because you are correct that I didn't watch the video (and I usually hate commenters who don't look at the linked content so I get you). But I can't just start watching videos at work... and I posted my comment under a link to the related article, so I think it was fair to comment after reading the article but not watching the video.

I am interested to see your original comment if you want to repost (including whatever caused it to be flagged if you like, now that this thread is old I doubt anyone will care/notice).

I resubmitted my comment, without the 'did you even watch the video' bit.
