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.

Had to google tubeless tires to even understand the headline. Tubeless tire whats? I thought a tubless tire was some kind of solid or foam rubber that needed no inflation, but apparentlly it still does, it just doesn't have a separate innertube. Interesting.
Tubeless are nice. Tubeless tire fluid is basically just like blood. When the tire is punctured (assuming it's not a catastrophic puncture) it will automatically reseal and coagulate around the hole. It's typically used more for off-road/downhill mountain biking. Some city bikes also use it, but dealing with a flat is much easier in the city.
