The speaker questions how consensus is decided and pokes fun at the process, suggesting that it is not as simple as a Twitter poll or the Bitcoin Core maintainers' algorithmic feed.
And this is why Bitcoin Core innovation has been steadily stagnating.
One can follow the meticulous process for submitting a BIP and gathering feedback, but all it takes is an angry hornets nest on X/Twitter to simply post that they don't want it (or in the case of removing something, want it), then the media and Youtubers pick up on the story, spreading the flames everywhere. And then that's the end of that.
Actual, productive discussion on the mailing list and Github is drowned out by the torrent of angry tweets.
It is also the reason why they can't remove Ordinals.
