The whole point of these videos is to elicit knee-jerk reactions and whip fanboys into a keyboard smashing frenzy that drives clicks and views and subscriptions. It's how they make money.
Do I prefer BMWs over Teslas? Yes, but not for these shallow 0-60 clickbait tests that proliferate on YouTube videos. This whole forum is a (usually) friendly environment to indulge our interests in these cars, and it's only natural to consider alternatives when buying them. Do some of the comparisons and exchanges get trivial and silly at times? Of course. But that comes with the territory when people are passionate about something. It happens with politics. It happens with sports. It happens with cameras. (Yes, really.)
Your point is well-taken, but the virtue signaling isn't really necessary since we're engaging in this banter tongue-in-cheek.
