The great thing about this guy is that he owns his own business, so YouTube revenue means jack shit to him. They can demonetize, and he wouldn't care. Personally, I think he pushes buttons to test the limits. LOL

Plus, he's on other platforms that aren't evil (like Odysee).

Don't forget the crypto bullshit

Sadly, I agree. Open platforms attract wackos, but the platform itself isn't evil.

He also runs educational stuff of various kinds paid for by grants as it relates to repairing your own stuff.

I know Louis is/was on Odyssey. Anyone know if he's on Peertube or has had any thoughts about Peertube?

i prefer not to use the favored nazi platforms, though I understand his reasoning.

That has far right affiliation? I don’t use it; I’m simply unaware that was the case

Most alternative video platforms except peertube are crawling with Nazis and antivaxxer. Odyssey, Rumble, Bitchute...

Basically that's what happens when you make a point of absolute freedom of speech... You get all the people noone else wants to touch.

Platforms that may want no affiliation but don't censor enough (sometimes nothing, sometimes only reported actually illegal things) usually end up becoming nazi platforms. (see the punk bar parable)
I don't think Odysee is as bad as Bitchute yet, but my hopes for it becoming good are zero.
