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.
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.
