- bogwog 5y agoThis is a really good video, it lays everything out clearly and explains it well. I even threw $50 at Louis's gofundme. It's always bizarre to me to see regular people arguing against right to repair in online discussions. Literally the only parties who benefit from planned obsolescence is device manufacturers, and it happens at the customer's expense 100% of the time. Either these people are dumb, or (most likely) they don't actually understand what "right to repair" means, or at the very least are confused about it.
- addicted 5y agoWhat's also hard to understand is that right to repair is not a new concept. The auto industry has it. I don't think anyone can argue that the auto industry or its customers have suffered from the fact that we have an entire ecosystem built around 3rd party repair and services that often provide better, quicker, and more easily accessible support and services.
