Using this feature for debate is a high-level skill that requires a lot of care.
The Bottom Line: The key is to ‘attack the idea, not the person’. Your video must focus entirely on the substance of their argument, and you should start by acknowledging their point in a neutral tone before presenting your counter-argument.
A respectful stitch adds value to the conversation; a disrespectful one is just creating drama for engagement, which is a short-sighted strategy.
To ensure your video is received as a respectful disagreement, you must follow a few clear rules. The first and most important is that your commentary, both in your audio and on-screen text, must focus only on the argument being made, never on the original creator’s appearance, character, or delivery. Second, a good practice is to start your video by neutrally restating the other person’s point to show you have understood it before you present your differing view. Third, you should avoid “punching down” by stitching a much smaller creator if you have a large audience, as this can lead to unintentional dogpiling from your followers. Finally, you must represent their argument in good faith by using a video clip that accurately captures their position, rather than taking a short snippet out of context to make them look bad.
