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

He is much too verbose, launches into side topics that have nothing to do with the subject on hand, and he speaks much too fast. But that's his style. I believe he's on the spectrum and doesn't really know how to focus on what he has to say.

Having said that. I think Louis Rossmann wouldn't be Louis Rossmann, or even be as efficient as he is, if he didn't do that.

He had some good points, but I don't think he has enough good points to fill a YouTube channel. He can be a little dramatic.

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.

He seems like a great consumer advocate and repair activist to me.

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.

He isn't a bad person, does a lot of good for the IT and repair community.

But with his recent behavior of bringing emotions into the GN v LMG debacle kind of did sour my opinion of him a bit. There were even comments that were removed by him calling him out on some of the shit he was saying.
