I respect the effort he's put into right to repair, and agree (in general) with most of the points he makes about it.
But I also think he's an asshole and we need a better voice for the RtR movement. I've seen him get into fights and strawman people on reddit as corporate shills just for calling his attitude abrasive.
In short, like anyone else:
He's absolutely right, and utterly annoying
Seems intelligent and I've enjoyed some of his videos. I don't know much about him other than he's a bit... intense? and he's sparked controversy with some people. I looove the FUTO keyboard app he's associated with. It's the best TTS keyboard I've found, and I refuse to use the Google/Samsung/etc equivalents
Also the Grayjay app.
He seems like a great consumer advocate and repair activist to me.
this tbh, I can understand how some might think Louis Rossmann is annoying, but for the most part what I notice is that he is a vocal advocate and we are lucky to have him, I'm a fan even if he's annoying.
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.
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.
wow not a single mention of how he has a Kiwi Farms account in the comments here, surprising
Soo, what? Does he actively participate in harassment?
This comment shows your stripes..
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.
