    While I can’t say I agree with everything Rossmann, the guy seems very genuine, regardless of where I think he may be wrong or right. Also, I’ve seen him pedal back and retract plenty of times when he is shown (with evidence) that he was wrong.

    Can you name one other personality with a large following that comes even close to Louis Rossmann in bringing stuff to light and fighting back against enshittification?

    As for Futo, yeah, I’m pretty sure that billionaire that owns it is just using Rossmann for his following. But who knows, maybe Rossmann is also taking advantage of him to advance what we all want to see as well.

      Well, there’s Corey Doctorow, of course. He literally wrote the book on Enshittification.

      There are definitely more “behind the scenes” folks doing a lot for that particular cause who don’t so much have a following of anywhere near the same size, but nonetheless do fight enshittification in big ways. Bradley Kuhn comes to mind.
