As a long-time Louis fan it's sad to me he basically just complains even after leaving New York City. Also, when I met Louis IRL at one of his meetups he was actually super rude. Hopefully he finds a way to be happy.

He’s just a kvetcher. I wish that kind of content didn’t do so well on YouTube/reddit - he’s rewarded handsomely for being like this, so he has no incentive to change.

Isn't this the "New York keeping it real" 'tude they are so proud of? Not being flippant, I'm serious. That's what I've heard. In peesonal experience, I found New Yorkers to be far friendlier than 99% of Bay Area baristas, so there's that.

There are more than enough things to complain about. If somebody wants to have a YouTube channel where they just complain, why is that a problem?

  If you are a fan for other reasons than the complaining it might be a problem for you if all his content, over time, has turned into complaining. Personally, I have never seen anything other than complaining from him, so I'm not sure why you would be a fan and also have a problem with the amount of complaining (which afaik has always been close to 100% of the content).

  > If somebody wants to have a YouTube channel where they just complain, why is that a problem? Because the complaining isn’t as fair and balanced as he presents it. He likes the stir the pot and he spreads misinformation along the way. It’s a problem because he has a wide audience of people who adopt the anger that he puts out and accept it as ground truth. It’s a smaller scale version of people who get their opinions from people like Joe Rogan, who fill their time with misinformed rants.

    Instead of throwing around generalized and unspecific claims, can you (without googling) point out specific cases where he spread misinformation? Without correction?

I finally watched a Louis Rossmann video because he covered a topic I know a lot about. I was surprised by how much he got wrong. He was mixing rumors, speculations, and facts as if they were all the same. He ignored some documentation the company released to counter the news stories, which he couldn’t have missed if he did any research at all. By the end it felt like I had watched someone repeat the most uncharitable and speculative takes on the subject that had been collected from social media, all while ignoring any actual research. It was weird to have it all presented in his faux fair and balanced demeanor, as if he was doing the company a favor by presenting both sides. I don’t know if he’s always been this way or if this is a recent audience capture thing where he panders to people who want to be angry about things.

  Your comment reads like a PR firm hired to deflect and distract for Mozilla. Fact: Mozilla is collecting user data and selling it, while pretending to be a "privacy" oriented organization. Rossman's hair, speaking style, color of clothing, and tone of voice is not relevant to the conversation. If you want to talk about what he got wrong, you need to be specific.

I've always gone out of my way to make people feel welcome at meetups. From asking a little about what they do, how their day is going, what their dreams are in life. I don't just do this as meetups. I do this when people recognize me on the street, when people recognize me if I'm on a date. I even took five minutes out to talk to a viewer while I was taking my girlfriend for treatment after she had a stroke. The only person I've ever had a negative reaction from at a publi meetup in person was the stalker that followed my girlfriend across the country after I physically removed from the event. You're not somebody I've ever met.
