Linus is for fun and simple videos around tech, friendly for OEMs and not roasting them. easy to understand for old or young people. Doesn't matter if you care about right to repair or not. He balances sponsors and credibility. Points out flaws but doesn't talk only about flaws.
Steve is a tech review kind of guy. He benchmarks and gives no other bs. You can debate about his way of doing journalism but I don't think that matters for me.
Rossmann is my favourite because I can relate to him. I Relate to how I got fucked by companies. Talks about Right to repair, enshittification, warranty and privacy issues. I know he is right about about the facts he says and he has dedicated itself to consumer rights.
If you think the controversy was intentional and they did mistakes then I'm not going to disagree. Yeah, they did but for me all 3 of them are important.
In my country, we don't have people like Rossmann or Steve and the audience that'll stand up against companies because most of them are just spec sheet readers and rely on sponsorship money. They can't tell a company to F themselves. They can't confront companies about issues.
Maybe they're stupid but it's the best we have.
