I started out watching some YouTube channels that claim to be dedicated to keeping me private and secure with recent news but found that some of them have a history of advertising NordVPN. Those channels sometimes sounded like they were defending Apple then telling people if they don't like the content then to just scram. Also, they would talk about custom roms for Android, then eventually when the channel got more viewers, the host makes a video advertising Google and why he now uses stock Google Android and saying that it's advanced. These channels, I sometimes find, either have bots or loyal followers on YouTube and Reddit that are ready to gaslight someone for questioning them. They don't hang out on other platforms like Odysee which is strange.

Have never heard of this guy

My problem with techlore is that they are ok with using google, apple, facebook

They pretty much promote proton, and kinda disencourage selfhosting
