Careful, like another comment pointed out, this sounds like a polished way of character assassination/accusation - that he's trying to squeeze his userbase for monetary gains. I would argue that most of his userbase is tech savvy and most of them (for example I also watch his videos for references on some ICs/upgrades) have ad-blockers in place. He has immensely contributed so much to the repair community so much so that many shops in Asia wouldn't even exist if not for his videos. I had one of those keyboard faults on a brand new Macbook Pro. The so called "Genius" jokers didn't even know it was a known issue on their machines. I had to send them a Rossman video just to help them even understand that such a thing was going on. So, I think we should be careful here of not questioning anyone's character without proof/evidence. I mean, we could say the same about Tim Cook too, right? That's why I think this is a bad direction for discussion that will only lead to flame with little value for readers here.
