Comment on LegalEagle Suing PayPal's Honey

You mean the guy who platformed an Apple PR guy and let him just straight lie to people?

Here’s an actual pro consumer youtuber talking about him with LOTS of cursing if you’re sensitive about that sort of thing.

I’m a big fan of right to repair and I appreciate all Louis Rossmann has done for the movement. Having said that, I wouldn’t say he’s strictly a pro-consumer guy. He’s a professional gadfly.

  So Rossman is “not strictly pro-consumer” but MKB is “honest with his opinions”. Up is down too, I guess.

    Both guys are in the business of self-promotion. One is based on positivity, the other negativity.
    
    You want to fill your life with negativity? Go ahead. I’ll pass.

    You’re missing one key difference:
    
    MKB is getting the big money for just mindelessly repeating whatever big tech wants the audience to hear, Louis is somehow financially surviving despite not having any sponsors for obvious reasons (and not wanting them either for integrity reasons).
    
    And saying louis rossmann is about self promotion… I’ve lost count how often he’s openly wondering in videos why people are still watching his crap. He’s happy he can do what he’s doing, and he can make the difference he’s making, but to say he’s in the business of self promoting… i guess as a youtuber, you always are in some way, but he’d be happy if he’d run out of content and have nothing to complain about, and could do actual repairs that then aren’t being blocked by stupid companies. I doubt MKB would be happy when he’d no longer be an influencer.

    He’s in the business of promoting consumer rights. He didn’t have to lobby for right to repair. He could have just bitched on YouTube forever and pocketed some cash
