I finally watched a Louis Rossmann video because he covered a topic I know a lot about.

I was surprised by how much he got wrong. He was mixing rumors, speculations, and facts as if they were all the same. He ignored some documentation the company released to counter the news stories, which he couldn’t have missed if he did any research at all.

By the end it felt like I had watched someone repeat the most uncharitable and speculative takes on the subject that had been collected from social media, all while ignoring any actual research.

It was weird to have it all presented in his faux fair and balanced demeanor, as if he was doing the company a favor by presenting both sides.

I don’t know if he’s always been this way or if this is a recent audience capture thing where he panders to people who want to be angry about things.




Your comment reads like a PR firm hired to deflect and distract for Mozilla.

Fact: Mozilla is collecting user data and selling it, while pretending to be a "privacy" oriented organization.

Rossman's hair, speaking style, color of clothing, and tone of voice is not relevant to the conversation.

If you want to talk about what he got wrong, you need to be specific.


Cool but we were talking about Rossman
