Typical Rossman to think anything but the platform shutting down (before 3pas actually stop working even) is a failure.
He can definitely speak with a lot of vitriol :/ It’s why I stopped watching his videos. I’m glad he’s pushing for right-to-repair stuff, but I just couldn’t handle the anger and negativity.
Pretty much where I’m at. I appreciate him for all he’s done, but his recent content is so bleak and hopeless. Can’t handle it.
I think reality is a bit bleak and hopeless now, at least for Rossmann and his causes. He doesn’t seem like the sugarcoating type.
I wouldn’t expect him to lol. Every time I watch one of his videos, I’m reminded of one of The Onion News Network’s greatest creations: The Autistic Reporter.
Note: Whether Rossman is on the spectrum (I assume so) I’m not throwing shade at all. He’s a powerhouse.
According to one of his other videos, he took an internet autism test and it determined based on his answers that he was probably autistic. No idea if he was properly diagnosed by a doctor though.
That connection will live forever in my head now lol, also how do I get to live in prison?
I think he hinted in some recent reddit video that he’s somewhere on the spectrum, or he thinks so.
It was pretty much just an online quiz in a livestream he did fairly recently, I think.
Iirc it was something along the line of ‘I have friends on the spectrum, and I’m not unlike them’, and that online quiz coming to a similar result. I don’t think he’s been officially diagnosed, he just has a fairly high margin of similarity.
But is the train okay?
I stopped when he went on a transphobic rant about 3 years ago.
Yikes, I wasn’t aware of that. I’m already avoiding his videos, but I’ll probably completely hide his channel on Youtube.
EDIT: Do you have a link for that video? I’m searching for it, but trying to find it without clicking on Reddit links is a pain :(
It was a couple of years ago, just after he had hooked up with a gf, and he was doing weird AMA videos while wearing a smoking jacket. The general gist of the rant was his political beliefs on racism, wokeism, and ‘there are only two sexes’, it wasn’t a full on hate-speech-apoluza, and probably not enough of a red flag for him to continue gaining in popularity.
For me, it coming a little while after Cody going a bit too RWNJ after Kanyon left him, it was enough for me to nope-out of his channel, but I have a very slim tolerance of youtube celebs anyway, I find most of them unbearable.
edit: given the ‘My Girlfriend owns a macbook, F my life’ video that was posted a week or two after his rants, I’m going to say it must have been 2019.
What did Cody ever say/do to give you “right wing nut job” vibes? He basically just started homesteading and pretending he’s on Mars.
That’s the same reason I switched to cinema wins from cinema sins. They went from good natured driving to the next best thing to pure vitriol.
What bothers me is the stereotyping reddit mods as pear shaped basement dwellers that cling to pretend power and go through DTs if they don’t have their mod authority for three days.
I am on a… .LOT of shit lists with staff on many locations for legitimate and non reasons. To the point you’d expect me to be agreeing with the assessment, but nope. Those are volunteers that make the network go 'round.
It’s the FIDO admin clusterfuck yet again. 'Shit talk the guy while he’s there. Guy steps back for mental wellness reasons. sudden outpouring of ‘you made everything work! You were the greatest!’ etc etc.
Of course I can’t speak for him but I think he’d rather Reddit change course.
Is Reddit winning? It seems too early to tell.
Their refusal to change doesn’t mean they are succeeding. The absolute mess that /r/all became over the weekend is already hurting their ability to sell ads.
Even if Reddit removes all the moderators from these thousands of protesting subreddits and replaces them with people willing to tow the line, that will only stem the bleeding short-term. As the most talented moderators and creators continue leaving the platform, Reddit will slowly lose it’s ability to produce content that keeps people reading.
Digg and Myspace didn’t die in a week.

As much as Louis is on our side in this, I feel like he alone was responsible for the MOST damage to the protest efforts. After his video about how a 2-day blackout wasn’t enough, dialogue from the anti-protest side started to shift heavily toward “this isn’t even going to do anything,” and his video was cited as often to support “we need to do more” as it was to support “you guys are stupid if you think you’re doing anything.” So I hope he finds some room to be pissed off at himself while he’s pissed off about the “failed” reddit protest.
And, spoiler alert: it takes time for momentum to shift, and it’s very much shifting - it’s just not happening as fast as this guy wants it to.
I get what he was going for, even if he phrased it in a shitty way. His problem was more the mods that caved in and went back, not with the ones who said “I’m done” and stuck to thier guns.
While there’ll undoubtably be much more people coming to here and other places given time (I wasn’t there when people left Digg en mass for Reddit, but I highly doubt it happened in days, or even a year or two), I can’t help but also look at those that went back and think “Would have been better if yall just cut the cord and left Reddit behind completely” because it’s not changing.
Regardless, he was right about not giving a time limit when drawing a line in the sand

Dont care, just quit Reddit and they can’t win. I saw a lot of sub-reddit who said “Well, blackout was great but here we are! Online now!” so… just leave.
