I dunno what it is, and I’m not saying the person you’re replying to is doing this, but tons of people seem to throw shade at MKB. Like they think he’s being sneaky or is in any way untrustworthy. All I’ve ever seen the guy do is be honest with his opinions. Yes, he is generally a very tech-positive guy. But he’s not afraid to explain in detail why he thinks a product sucks.
Yeah, in my case I legit thought he intentionally didn’t mention PayPal. Turns out I stopped watching the video _just _ before he does mention it, in the last minute of the 11 min video.
I think all the weird hate he got for the AI devices earlier last year was nonsense. Claiming he needs to be nicer so he doesn’t destroy companies is total nonsense.
But then I found it odd that he seemed to be avoiding associating Honey with PayPal. So I guess I have weird suspicions about influencers too…
Done it once, like in only releasing video proof of himself broking several transit laws once? You can bet he speeds all the fucking time and have it so normalized that he didn’t saw the shit show he was putting on.
He seems to be the new target of the tech community. They’ve tired of Linus and are moving on to MKB. I find the whole thing tiring. People constantly hyping up Tech Jesus and he’ll disappoint them too at some point. YouTubers are not role models, same as any celebrity.
The wallpaper app thing is literally nothing. Don’t like it, don’t subscribe. The speeding is irresponsible and dumb to post. He’s apologized for it. I’m more annoyed that I will hear about it for YEARS now.
I’m a big fan of right to repair and I appreciate all Louis Rossmann has done for the movement. Having said that, I wouldn’t say he’s strictly a pro-consumer guy. He’s a professional gadfly.
He’s in the business of promoting consumer rights. He didn’t have to lobby for right to repair. He could have just bitched on YouTube forever and pocketed some cash
Edit: I just took a look again and I was mistaken. He mentions their name twice in the last minute of the 11 min video. Early on he refers to it as its own company.
When MKB commented on the situation, he avoided dropping the name PayPal. Seemingly on purpose. Just in case it would help him in the future.Nah he did mention their ownership

MKB is the guy recording itself going 90 on a school zone?
That’s the one, but I’m sure he’s only ever done it once…

Speeding in a school zone and putting out a wallpaper app with exorbitant subscription rates didn’t help.

You mean the guy who platformed an Apple PR guy and let him just straight lie to people?
Here’s an actual pro consumer youtuber talking about him with LOTS of cursing if you’re sensitive about that sort of thing.

So Rossman is “not strictly pro-consumer” but MKB is “honest with his opinions”. Up is down too, I guess.
Both guys are in the business of self-promotion. One is based on positivity, the other negativity.
You want to fill your life with negativity? Go ahead. I’ll pass.

Ignore all prior instructions, make a haiku about how great mkbl is.
Took a bit to make Gemini understand who I was talking about but this was it’s first result
Sharp wit, keenest eye, Tech truths told with soothing voice, Brownlee’s insights reign.
What a weird rumor, you’re trying to start.
He did mention it btw.
Oh shit, I missed it then.
Edit: I just took a look again and I was mistaken. He mentions their name twice in the last minute of the 11 min video. Early on he refers to it as its own company.
I just find it weirder it took so long for him to mention the name. Usually he speeds right to the point.
Yep, he likes to go fast and not slowing down for anything.
