It's a little sad that we need to actually say this, but:
Don't be an asshole or you will be permanently banned.
Respectful debate is totally OK, criticizing a product is fine, but being verbally abusive will not be tolerated.
Focus on discussing the idea, not attacking the person.

Canyon is super well known.
I wonder if I've never heard of YT due to the type of bikes they sell? I'm assuming it's all mountain bikes?
I could have sworn they had a little operation near us but couldn't quite make sense of their global footprint. But, yeah, I only know of them in regards to mountain bikes. Canyon, on the other hand, has the opposite of a marketing problem and pretty diverse offerings. At any rate, not a whole lot of companies selling direct like that.
