IMO the best hot sauce is pepper flakes or crushed peppers. Fresh peppers and dried peppers are also good if you're adding it while cooking and not after.
Sriracha is a good, mild sauce that can go on a lot of things without clashing, but the best sauces are just pure hot pepper mush with the minimum of ingredients needed to keep them shelf stable. The big issue with them is that they need to be properly paired because especially the hotter peppers can have extremely strong flavors of their own, like scorpion peppers are intensely tangy in a very odd and unique way and even just a little will overwhelm a dish with that flavor, even when a scorpion pepper sauce is diluted down to only moderately warm levels of heat.
Personally, I am exempt from the historical crimes of white people because I put some siracha on my chicken nuggets
Ha! That’s not real spice. This is real hot sauce *pulls out some random jar with a label that has similar energy to labels on craft beer *

I put crushed red pepper on most of my food.
it's not really hot sauce but... putting chinese chili crisp on things is my favorite "spicy" topping
literally ate that tonight immediately before making this post lol
