But if you just watch his videos and buy his stuff he will teach you how to repair yours!11! /s
The few times I watched his videos, he sounded like a libertarian bro, saying that if you just put the effort, you too can become successful. You just have to pull yourself by the bootstraps or something. He's showing you everything you need to know to be as successful as him! And maybe it was sarcasm and I didn't catch it but at one point he muttered something about Trump fixing the potholes of New York. That's about when I stopped taking him seriously.
He's still an important voice for the right to repair movement but you're right. I also can't stand him. Unfortunately he has very dedicated/vocal eeehm, fans, so legitimate remarks on him are often met with downvotes.
Louis has a tendency to ramble so I'll give you the tl:dw
Google plans to make parts available but not at the level that they should, so they'll continue to be absurdly expensive to the point that you might as well just buy a new one.
In other words, they took the Apple approach to right to repair. Disappointing but not unexpected. This is the same company that got rid of their "don't be evil" motto after all.
