Yes, you did give advice.
But see, people here don't just want advice. If you throw in a compliment or two, you might not come off as such a jackass.
Even in some things, it seems that you throw everything good about it out and focus on the bad things, expanding them into something a lot more important than they should be.
How about next time you contradict, you also compliment. It may make people wanna listen more.
