What really blows my mind is that if you use either of the words in the title - instant demonetization (only if you are an independent journalist). CNN , NBC , FOX and other -Authoritative Sources™- rags can use them freely without any ill effects. This is a very dangerous practice as it might discourage indie reporters from reporting news about "

This might be the most honest video I have seen in the past year. Keep doing what you're doing, and keep sitting pretty with a kitty. You look very comfortable.

Louis, I have been watching your videos for an eternity! Over 10 years for sure. I don’t always agree with every single thing you say, but I easily agree with 98% of it. I admire your knack for calling out BS. Your words are nearly always right to the point and you truly have a gift! You are amazing and I hope you continue to post on KZread for many, many years to come! Thanks for all that you do. Every video is a learning experience for me!! 😎

That cat-tharsis at the end was so great. You can tell Louis really speaks cat (so to speak). I use Sponsorblock but have it turned so that it marks sections and brings up a prompt to skip for almost everything. The only segment I skip automatically is paid sponsors, so stuff like the stupidly long plugs some people make (cough daily wire cough) I never have to bother with. I never realized it was skipping kitty content cause it never did for me.

Sponsorblock uses user-submitted time stamps, so it's not really directly their fault.

keep on swinging at the man Louis - we appreciate you

Well said. Spoken like a professional. Thank-you for having a voice for us who no one listens to. 10/10

Possibly the most important video on right to repair ever.

They're rapists yeah, I've gotten into arguments about this and my question is. What makes rape wrong? Is it the violence? No if it were it'd be treated as assault. Is it the sexual nature? No sex is legal. IT'S THE FUCKING CONSENT.

No group has ownership over words, no need to apologize.

The poor cat has to deal with louis rage everyday damn

Lets all note that the objection is to the term, not to the facts and supporting arguments. Louis is doing good work in getting attention on this curtailing of privacy. Keep it up

Dark viper got into a lot of trouble for using the same analogy to describe reaction content. It was a huge distraction though because his basic overall premise was right on

Times like this make me very happy that terms of service aren't legally binding in most countries.

It's bold to ask someone to reciprocate what they never received. And it's not the kind of bold that's admirable. Good on you for not having any regrets. Their dishonesty is abhorrent.

I like that terminology very much. Some people simply struggle with the concept of "no means NO!"

Please upload any ADs from this campaign you have saved to the archive

Manufacturers also claim that 3rd party repair of phones and other devices will lead to independent repairers stealing your explicit photos. But they say this while when their own contractors whom they employ for their 1st party repair have been caught doing exactly that.

I remember that horrific commercial! Holy hell!

"BAD TOUCH! BAD TOUCH! STRANGER DANGER!!" these companies cant keep getting away with this problem. Absolute annoyance and crap this keep happening

I support your descriptive label

Do we even have "freedom" nowadays?

Very well said Louis. Great work.

Love you, Louis. You're the only content creator avidly watch that I truly admire.

REPAIR its REPAIR

I'm all for it, and truthfully I have began using it myself bc it is so apropos and describes their practices to a T. We need these "hard words" to shock ppl out of complacency so they can wake TF and see what's actually going on. If the ppl are so fucking fragile that a WORD upsets them oh well, they can go cry about it in their little safe space.

Another similarity to rappists (some) is that when confronted they'll say the victim asked for it or liked it or was OK with it

Louis, fantastic as always. Please remind people that these contracts of adhesion - such as Roku's, which are form agreements presented as take it or leave it - can sometimes be declared unenforceable by the courts. A court can invalidate contracts, especially contracts where the drafting party had significant power over the other party, due to the unconscionability of the terms. Of course it should never reach that stage but I doubt Roku's contract would be enforceable were someone to fight them in court over it.

Long live Mr. Clinton's freedom of speech!

Best cat content account on yt

In honour of your integrity Luis, thankyou for everything. You deserve every good thing thats ever happend to you bro.

Thank you for all you do for our consumer rights. I'm sure it is no walk in the park being the punching bag for us against the largest corporations in the world, so again thank you.

Uh-oh. Nebraska Steve has corrupted the New York Louis.

People like me are grateful for the news you talk about Sir and agree with all you make with the videos you make Young man!!!

as a tech student with anxiety problem; all I can say is, it's depend to the person. ik that data is valuable, but fr, some will be like "WHAT TF are we gonna use ur data for? u're not that important for me." and some can be decisive by selling ur data, like these big companies do. and FR, the more we came to this way, I felt like the more that I rlly want to begone from social medias.

Oh, **that** R word. And the customers who blindly let the companies do this are the O.G. R word.

I say this as a big compliment: I feel you are the Ralph Nader of today's right-to-repair, and digital responsibility. Thank you!

Louis can use any word he wants to get his point across

In case KZread shadow-banned my previous message, Discord's forced arb can be avoided! Check out No Text To Speech's video about it. You have until May 15th!

I think the use of the R word is appropriate. Taking advantage of someone, being forced into a situation by someone with power over you.

100% agree with you man. Keep up the great work! One of the real ones here!

Thank you Louis for continuing to do what you do!
