But if you just watch his videos and buy his stuff he will teach you how to repair yours!11! /s
The few times I watched his videos, he sounded like a libertarian bro, saying that if you just put the effort, you too can become successful. You just have to pull yourself by the bootstraps or something. He’s showing you everything you need to know to be as successful as him! And maybe it was sarcasm and I didn’t catch it but at one point he muttered something about Trump fixing the potholes of New York. That’s about when I stopped taking him seriously.
He’s still an important voice for the right to repair movement but you’re right. I also can’t stand him. Unfortunately he has very dedicated/vocal eeehm, fans, so legitimate remarks on him are often met with downvotes.
For the last 3 years he’s been saying it’s no longer possible to be successful financially doing what he does. He did used to say that, though, because at one point it was true.
this guy is insufferable. these videos are just unnecessarily long speeches that would fit an article so much better than a video.
not to mention that his whole YouTube/Odysee channel is disguised advertisement for their businesses.
I totally agree. I didn’t know him until I saw a couple of his videos posted in Lemmy and I can’t stand the guy.
At this point I’d guess that the reason for his rambles is to make more money through monetisation.
