While I don't agree with the comment you replied to, at least they did that on their account with a history, they stand behind what they said.

Your comment does not carry a lot of weight if you have to rely on a throwaway to post it.

Sarcasm doesn't make it better.

And IMHO a video without references (or references behind a paywall) is not HN-like as it does not allow to verify the sources nor an open discussion about the topic.
