  No. Just no. We don't need monetized influencers pontificating and building fandoms on this. That is gross.

    Louis founded the Consumer Rights wiki and also wrote the article that's the subject of this NH thread.

    Louis Rossman does not take sponsorships, and turns off ads for his videos as much as YouTube allows. His videos are for his opinions, not making money.

    Mr Rossman will literally tell you to use an ad-blocker to watch his videos and refuses to take sponsorships, actively does not want money from making YouTube videos and just wants to get the word out. I'd agree with you if it was literally any other creator.

    Two things can be true at once, especially when talking about people’s behaviour. I don’t know this guy from atom, but if he’s a YouTuber then my instinct is to not trust him.

    Your instinct is, believe it or not, imperfect.

    No, you are in the wrong here.
