I’m just wondering, because I have seen some negative comments on here about him, but they don’t usually provide specifics.

    I tend to like him and the things he has to say. I like that he helps consumers be more conscious of the things they buy, and cautions against companies with bad practices (such as those that are closed sourced, or lock basic features behind paywalls, etc).

    He strikes me as a little socially awkward himself, and maybe that manifests as his rage at some of these companies and situations; he could stand to take a breath every now and then. I really enjoyed his breakdown of the Honey scam and LTT.

      He’s autistic, that’s why he’s socially awkward. It was mentioned in one of his videos a few years ago.

        Clearly I missed that video. Thanks for letting me know! That makes his views and attitudes make a little more sense.

        (I also didn’t mean socially awkward as an insult or anything, I certainly have no room to talk)

          I’m socially awkward, but that’s probably just paranoia and PTSD from my time in the military.
