Knew it was Rossmann from the title before even clicking. He genuinely always seems so miserable. Does he ever talk about positive things?

- rafram 1y agoThat’s a silly response. I don’t think Rossmann is really a force for good. He kvetches about New York incessantly for years, moves to Austin with much fanfare about how much better and more free Texas is, now kvetches incessantly about Austin. When manufacturers don’t open their devices enough, he complains; when they do, he complains. No matter the subject, he is impossible to please.

- ninjagoo 1y ago> And no, I haven't publicly spoken about American consumer rights, but I have been interviewed in the "newspaper of record" as a representative of an organization that works to end a genocide. If that counts! That does count, yes. It also doesn't change the fact that publicly posting such a strong negative view of Rossmann context-free amounts to an ad-hominem, unless you link that negative opinion to a good reason on why his take on Google's harmful actions shouldn't be a topic of discussion. Otherwise it just comes across as an attempt to suppress his views or get people to discount his views. A tactic you're likely familiar with, from being a target of it. Which makes it all the more surprising that you would wield it yourself, against a consumer advocate no less.

- potamic 1y agoAcquainting people with consumer rights is a very positive thing! Why do you think otherwise?
- jondwillis 1y agoWhat sort of positive things would you have him talk about?
- on_the_train 1y agoYup, cpt Drama is of course right there. It's disingenuous at this point. He doesn't care, he's just sweeping up tech drama

- npteljes 1y agoThat's a valid reason not to subscribe to his channel, but not a reason to dismiss the point just because the discussion started from a video of his.
