Right, so as you comprehensively explain, the 'did you even watch the video' comment makes no sense. Were you expecting him to subscribe to Flo bikes just to watch a video you thought was funny?
It's rhetorical. I'll explain for you: it would be the same as saying "you shouldn't comment on something you haven't seen" (as you will miss some information that is likely to result in missing the mark with the comment.)
And do you think that was worthy of 7 paragraphs of moaning in response, in a thread that you supposedly wanted to be fun?

The topic didn't appear to interest anyone.
You can try to sell this idea all you want, but many people are unhappy with Flo Bikes and there have been many posts about it.
Not on this thread. Seems like you managed to make a thread about Flo that doesn't even interest the many people who want to talk about Flo, doesn't it?

You make an ill advised comment, you get called on it, and you double down, triple down, change the subject, misquote people. I'd be entertained by it as I am a fan on online mayhem, but it totally messes up threads I might consult for useful information - that's why your blocked.
Ill advised? You agree that he's European and not a Flo subscriber, don't you? What do you think I got wrong?

For all your talk of blocking, here you are 2 weeks after a comment I made on this thread was lying dormant and buried but you just couldn't let it lie. And it appears that two years after you were called out on giving bad and contradictory bike handling advice you're still stewing on that as well. Just let it go dude, you'll feel so much better.
If you find it all so objectionable why not just block me?
Why do you think I would want to? I have absolutely nothing against you. When you're not doing whatever this is you've got plenty of interesting stuff to say and I am more than happy to read it (hence my advice above is genuine).

OK, I'll entertain you one last time. This thread has 1300+ views. The hilarious part is right now beneath it on the Chat board is a thread titled "Trivial things in cycling that annoy me?" Maybe move on to that - the very title suggests it would be a much better place for you to argue that no one cares about trivial things in cycling. :P
Cya.
