This idea has definitely been tried before and has consistently failed

I love it… but honestly, i spend 99% of my time on desktop, so this just doesn’t help me.

And if it ever gains much popularity, Youtube will find ways to break its ability to source videos from their platform.

Something about Louis just strikes me as extremely untrustworthy. I’m not sure what it is, but it’s definitely there.

He might come off as edgy but honestly he’s one of the few people I trust online. Dude did amaizing stuff with right to repair stuff too.

New York accent? I’ve occasionally watched his videos for years, and he seems to be a decent guy. He may be an asshole IRL for all I know, but generally supports stuff like right to repair, privacy, ad-blockers, etc. He’s a business owner, so he’s pro-business biased when consumers aren’t being completely shafted. He’s YouTuber, so he likely has narcissistic tendencies.

Met him IRL. Super nice, but he’s got a hard edge which might put people off.

Its effectively unlimited trialware, like WinRar. Its provided free and has no payment verification, but if you use it regularly, you’re expected to pay the approximately $10 price tag.

There is an optional “purchase” in app which is interestingly difficult to find.

It doesn’t actually effect any functionality but I’m willing to bet it will in future once we’re all hooked.

You should try the app it’s actually very good
