I don't know why people don't like Louis. He's one of the best advocates for pro-consumer rights that we have, and he's putting in a ton of hard work to effect real positive change. I wish we had more people like him, and I wish I could do more to help!
I watch him frequently and people don't like him because he's very direct and comes across as holier than thou. But fuck them, the corpo bootlickers can take their decorum and shove it.
His output of videos is too high for how long they are. They also have inconsistent runtimes. I think he's saying the right things, but his production is doing a disservice to his content.
IIRC he was telling people to spam sponsorblock with fake segments, because in some videos he had parts where he just stopped discussing the topic and talked to his (sickly?) cat when it came by, and people were accurately marking those segments as offtopic or whatever it's called. He was presenting it as evil sponsorblock blocking his sick elderly cat. I could try to find a link later when I'm at my PC.
Other than that, he's generally alarmist and arrogant, but I do appreciate him and what he's doing.
My onoy issue is the frequency of uploads. I use a frontend for no algorithm, just sewuential posts anf he can clog a feed with some cat nonsense.
Do not touch Blackberry
Louis Rossman fucks.
Damn, I didn't know Litter Robot was such a shit company (heh)
That's a shame. I've had my Litter Robot 2 for over a decade and loved it. Considering a replacement soon when it finally reaches end of life. Sounds like I need to look into other options. Anyone know a good alternative?

Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.

Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-YSK posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.
If you harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
If you are a member, sympathizer or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.

Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
