"The reason I bring up things that are bad is because I want to fix them." The problem is, to a lot of people, bringing up the bad things makes you the villain. They were blissfully unaware that, say, their car was spying on them and sending the data to insurance companies until you brought it up. But instead of getting angry at the maker of their car, the lizard brain gets angry at you for making them aware of it. The problem is only "real" because of you, therefore it's your fault. That's what "stop being negative" means. It has nothing to do with how positive or negative you may actually be - it means "stop making me aware of bad things because that makes me feel bad".

I watch Louis a lot and I am using his words to fix an issue that I would have just accepted. I called the company to get a quote. They quoted me $20. I paid the $20 and got the equipment sent to me. 2 months later I get a bill for $180 for the remaining cost of the equipment. I told them I did not want the equipment for $200 and I would be sending it back they told me that it was past the one month return time and I had to keep it. I now know not to trust this company using the phone. I wrote a letter giving the company three options. They have been told to only respond via an email because of their inability to honor verbal contracts. 1. the company can honor the agreed upon price of what I bought and paid for. 2. Take the equipment back for a full refund. 3. Refund my money and let me keep the equipment as compensation for my time they wasted. Thanks Louis, I wouldn't have stood up to them without your videos. How's that for positivity?

Louis was originally a productive KZfaqr providing great tutorial videos on circuit board repair and DIY fixes. Then the industry turned against him and tried to box him and his peers in the repair industry out. Then NYC created a direct attack on his business via its tax office. He's had a consistent moral compass the whole way through. He does not like bullies. He doesn't like state driven oppression via big business lobbyists. He doesn't like bloated government bureaucracies. These videos have brought to light many anti-consumer practices. Please keep up the great work, Louis!!

I got fired a couple months ago from a local/regional health insurance company for "being negative". I was constantly pointing out their office in another city over was clearly not holding people accountable for mindlessly sending over all of their own mail and work deliverables to us, but it was easier for the corpos to say I was being unprofressional or negative rather than admit they were getting played by dozens of people collecting paychecks for work they're not doing.

Corporate greed and control is at the highest it's ever been. The CONSUMER should be the one that companies need to please. Not the Consumer being "grateful" for the services they provide. I've also been hit with the "why are so so negative all of the time" line. They fact of the matter is, I've always been analytic, critical, and highly interested in my trade. With regards to hardware and software development, there have been many changes that have occurred over the years that corporations have adopted that just make my blood boil. But beyond that, the world has become a crazier place in just a few short years. The answer is just as you put it: YES, we are crazy. To everyone else's eyes, we're raving lunatics.

Even if the content of everything you say is correct they know they just need to make you look "cynical", "overly pessimistic", or "sociopathic". The fact is: You do this because you care and have your daily awareness entrenched deep in observing what these shitsticks are trying to do. We appreciate it.

Im just some dude from NZ that likes to fix things, anything i can, electronics, vehicles, tools, ill give anything a go, I find it relaxing and it fills me with a sense of purpose. I used to find you kind of hard to swallow, but you were saying everything I had noticed and despised about current consumer products and services, every video you have done has been pretty much spot on., as an adult i leaned to understand you as a person, and you can see that as much as you portray yourself as you do, it is very clear you have a heart of gold. I believe in you and hope that you succeed, we may not deserve you , but we certainly need you. keep on keeping on, brother.

Anger is strength. We are in an age of learned weakness where men have been badgered and shamed into suppressing their anger. The multinational entities that want you docile and impotent so you don't do anything in response to their contemptuous treatment of the average person must be stopped with that same anger they (ironically) aggressively try to remove from you. Right to Repair is one of the most important armaments in the toolbelt of a functional society. It is not morale to demand that I ask permission to change, alter, fix, or adjust any property that I have exchanged money in order to own. Anything else necessarily means that you own nothing, and your property can be ripped away from you with no recourse. As far as I'm concerned Louis, you haven't been angry enough. God bless you for all your hard work. It's a better world with you here to help us.

The politicians talks about making the planet greener while sending electronic waste, that could have been fixed, is sent to some place in africa where they repair it and sell it among them selves, and what cannot be used is just trashed on the ground.

My answer when I get this accusation is I'll stop being so negative when you start giving a crap about how these things affect you. I used to have this recurring nightmare as a kid. I'd be in the basement of the family house, my mom would be sitting on a coffee table in the middle of the room, and lava would start filling up the room. I'd scream at her from the stairs to run, but she'd just smile at me from the table, and no sound would come out of my mouth. That is what I feel like when I try to express distress over these sorts of repeating issues, and people either don't care and/or don't even know what I'm talking about.

@@ZX3000GT1 My thing is, I hate COMPLIMENTS. I'm not going out of my way to be negative, and most times it's "Devil's Advocate" negativity and not being an a-hole to be one. Since the things I'm negative about, are things I feel GENUINE ABOUT like; my disdain that everyone seems to be vaping these days or doing some sort of drug since they can't handle reality, even though American "hardships" 9/10 are facile and self-inflicted. I also dislike "boomers" who complain about gen y and z, even though, they raised the kids that raised us kids to be the way they are. SO... should have done something different to change that, but instead easier to complain about "Tech ADDICTION" than realizing your constantly locking us away more and more over time, was why we now have kids glued to phones since we're told predators lurk on every street corner and the outside world isn't safe.

I love brutal honesty, and honestly I haven't met many who don't. Perhaps it could be largely an online issue where people seem to misunderstand each other much more than face to face. Truth, on the other hand, is not a very clear thing, philosophically - additionally, I find that some people are excellent at manipulating their truth, and it can be very hard for me to tell when they do it. Not necessarily lying to their own benefit either, often simply to defend/sustain their beliefs. We're all fallible, subject to cognitive biases and logical fallacies. I don't like generalizing truisms either, even if they sound nice. But I do think it's true that honesty can hurt. But nothing good springs from dishonesty or denial either. I think most people would agree, but they might have a harder time practicing it than preaching it.
