This is just some podcaster reading a medium article to his audience. Don't post tabloid fodder to HN, post the original article. Flagged.

It's not "some podcaster", it's not tabloid fodder, please unflag.
Edit: To expand, Lois Rossman is the face of the "Right to repair" movement, and hand in hand with that goes to have control over the things you've bought in other ways than just to repair them.

Great, he has a brand, but when you get down to it, it's s guy sitting in an overstuffed armchair reading an article he found on the internet and giving his opinion on it for clicks.
I have nothing against Mr Rossman, I just don't find e-celebs the least bit interesting and videos of people opinionating seem like the least efficient way to share information.

Louis Rossman is not a podcaster. He's the face of the entire right-to-repair movement and one of the most respected people in tech. Also, having another person review the footage is a meaningful contribution over just linking to the Medium article.

I'd want to downvote this, but in absence of that option I'll comment here instead to show I disagree.
First, although he's indeed also reading the article, it's not like that is the only thing he is doing. He is adding a broader perspective to it.
Secondly, the tabloid fodder accusation here is really not any value here, please don't make HN commentary second into something where they just sling random accusations around.
Third, I agree that it's not just some podcaster as stated by the other commenters.
Also, the first line of the video description of the video is a link to the medium article.
