I’m just wondering, because I have seen some negative comments on here about him, but they don’t usually provide specifics.

    His board repair videos were outstanding. I don’t especially enjoy his rants. He’s usually right, but I don’t really care to listen to how mad he is about it. I can get mad on my own.

    He’s doing some really good stuff for right to repair; he get’s a bit overly dramatic sometimes but you can tell that he’s just very passionate about those things.

    I think he’s the best type of influencer; rather than money or fame he strives for an end to the constant enshittification by exposing bad actors and not giving a shit about it.

    He’s fine. His videos come off as a bit whiny. The stance of pirating content as being justified instead of just abstaining from an unsatisfactory service seems entitled to me but I get it. I think he’s mostly right in his analysis of things, I don’t make it through every video that he posts though

    He does content? He can be a bit aggressive about his topics, that can rub people the wrong way.

    I don’t think he did anything offensively, legally or morally wrong.

    I know just he exists, I don’t follow his content.

          And this comment shows you have no evidence.

          Yes, he has an account, but looking at his post history, the only thing he did was reply several times in a single thread mentioning he is leaving NY for Texas.

          Did my own research.

      I long wondered how he manages to identify as a libertarian despite what he spends all his time talking about, now it’s starting to make more sense lol

    He does go a little over the top sometimes so his videos could be considered to be a bit overdramatic with a little sprinkle of rage bait.

    However, I have rarely have disagreed with his views on consumer protection. Actually… I have never disagreed with his views on consumer protection.

    Him getting viewers pissed off is not what I would consider healthy, but the rage might get some people to stop showing their bellies to large companies. Regardless, his videos do walk a fine line for me personally. He should be getting income from his videos, which is fine. If he ever cracks and starts getting people pissed off expressly for the purpose of income, I’ll drop his videos really quick.

    I think I agree with most comments here.

    He’s usually right and I agree with him, I just find him a little hard to watch. His videos are a bit long winded.

    I 100% support him. I think his heart and mind are in the right place.

    I don’t like him. He’s angry at everything and his videos are a chore to watch. I also feel like he’s sometimes a bit out of touch (I don’t like ads or paying for digital content either, but if no one pays for it, it‘ll stop existing) and a bit pessimistic (yes, companies aren’t your friends, but not everything you perceive as negative is done out of malice, sometimes people are just not thinking stuff through).

    However, I do appreciate him as a right to repair activist.
