Yeah, he is more about outrage content these days it seems. What he is railing against is usually something I broadly agree is bad from the sounds of it. But he rarely goes any deeper than "this article or 2 claims this corpo is fucking us, you should steal their shit, move to another state, or just in general be as unproductively outraged as me about it."
And he has started to branch so far into things he doesn't really know anything about at times that he is either flat out wrong, or so uninformed as to not have an opinion worth listening to on the subject to begin with.
He seems to want to be some kind of investigative journalist reporting on the wrongs of the big guy, but he doesn't want to leave his house and risk getting into uncomfortable real world situations to do it unless it is a hearing about right to repair. You don't find Rossman doing much deep diving into details, just surface level rage baiting I guess is what I am trying to say.
I wouldn't call necessarily call it "unproductive" though? He has been lobbying in cases and contributing to the right to repair movement for several years now. It's not like he's doing nothing, he's doing everything that he has the power to do.
