I used to think I was losing at PvP because I was a bad player, then I realized it was just because I had my guns turned off.

The fact that other people can legitimately appreciate that is the problem. You have to wonder how bad a player has to be to literally not notice the fact that their guns aren't firing for 30s. Presumably they're looking at the screen where useful information such as what their ship is doing and how much health the enemy ship has are displayed prominently. If you want to actually convince people on /r/eve that the video is bad (which I assume you do since you posted there) then I would suggest commenting in a less hostile way so you don't just get downvoted. It's sort of like real life in a way. If you go to your coworkers and tell them they are retards for doing x then they will ignore you because you are being a dick. If you tell them "hey, you shouldn't do x for y and z reasons" then they will be more open to your suggestions because you were polite about it.
How do you tell someone their god isn't real while being really nice and diplomatic about it? Oh I'm terribly sorry, sir. You see, we've figured out that natural laws explain every mystery we've come across in the universe. It's so unfortunate, but they also tell us that even if your god exists, he is sitting idly by watching children suffer and be raped by pedophiles - because if he wasn't, his presence would leave an unavoidable measurable and verifiable impact on the environment. I don't mean to offend, but there's no rational reason to accept the existence of this particular god over Othinn or Zeus or Shiva.
It just doesn't work. Some forms of criticism are unavoidably antagonistic in nature. If someone put an EVE video up where you watched them make a sandwich on their webcam while they waited to turn their guns on, it would be funny. But given the context of the situation, it's ridiculous to put something like that in a video trying to demonstrate skillful play, and it's every bit worthy of criticism.
I've gotta say I'm quite turned off by your attitude. For all the criticisms you could throw at KwarK, being brutally honest is one at the very bottom of my list. The world would be a better place without all the slimy pandering and fake friendliness that occurs in "polite" society.

"No No hes just so good that he stopped shooting to taunt his opponent and started shooting again just in time to kill him while having enough tank to fight any reinforcements. Hes that good guys."
Something someone actually said when I mentioned in in bni jabber when it was linked.

You can ask Jed, Aeth, Body, or even Kwark if I am super polite and overly friendly, they will tell you I am not. I can be as brutally honest as Kwark, but he was complaining about downvotes on Reddit. My entire point was that having a nicer tone will get you more upvotes. If Kwark wants to keep being brutally honest more power to him, but he should expect downvotes if he keeps doing that.
They have to so they can keep shit posting and memes to a minimum.

I'm pretty sure KwarK does not expect reddit to like anything he has to say. I think he is just commenting like "ohlook, reddit reddited again".
On a similar note, if we made a pie chart of this thread's posts, I think there might be a "People Are Improbably Stupid" category at 30-40%.

Ask and ye shall receive!
Once on my birthday Tango told me to eat a bag of shit!
Then on Christmas, the birthday of our dear lord and savior Jesus Christ, Tango told me to go fuck myself.
Needless to say I was very devastated on both occasions.

No way of telling what someone would pay for something like that, there is no market history etc. I just forgot to double package my Stain cashout JF. Oops.

There are only 4 of them in eve, a trillion ish might actually be under valuing it.

Plenty of things rarer than that, from corpses of people who quit to large rigged frigs with unusual combinations. Rarity isn't as important as the perception.

Hence the 2800 PLEX you pay in addition.
