    I’m laughing at their YouTube’s response. Obviously someone used a thesaurus to write it and didn’t know that “incalcitrant” is not even the word, no major dictionaries list it. It’s like using irregardless instead of regardless The word they YouTube wanted is recalcitrant.

    And it’s very telling that they YouTube used that word because it shows they think they are King.

    Recalicitrant:

    Stubbornly resistant to authority or control.

    Unwilling to obey orders or to do what should be done.

    Resisting authority or control; not obedient or compliant.

    Edit: I’m laughing at YouTube’s response. I thought that was clear by context… I guess people who didn’t read the article didn’t get that? Maybe it was paywalled to them?

    Words matter, and by using the one they did, YouTube is basically saying that they demand people obey them.
