It may be advocacy for a noble cause, but it is still drama and outrage. It is an effective technique used by politicians worldwide. If it works, I guess that's a positive, but that's not for me.
Lois Rossmann has always been ranting in his video, but originally he did so while repairing Macbooks. I actually learned a few tricks watching his videos. Now, he is just sitting down talking, adding drama and outrage to news stories relevant to what he advocates for.
I mean, we need people like him, like we need people like Richard Stallman, but I personally prefer more nuanced approaches.
I accept that some people find him too abrasive and not everyone is going to like his style, but that doesn't make his content "drama and outrage".
It's legitimate annoyance and anger at the state of affairs and calling it "drama" implies that it's performative and/or unwarranted.
