Throwing shade at other creators about data quality the same week they publish incorrect data.
Trust us bro attitude when it comes to warranty.
Tone-deaf responses to working condition complaints including the statement this week where they effectively said "The external HR company we paid to review our HR policies and internal communication said we did nothing wrong and if anyone says anything to contradict us we believe we have grounds for a lawsuit."
Selling prototype hardware at an auction after the manufacturer requested several times over several months to return or pay us.

I think there was some ethical drama in his company a while ago, which might have been recently answered 🤷‍♂️

I personally didn't like the very few videos I saw of him, it looked like g@mer consumerist obsessions. The latest I saw was about the last Fairphone release and he was very critical about what I'd call very reasonable design choices, like capping the screen to 60Hz instead of max 90 by default, or having to turn the phone off to swap SD card. This video felt like it was not an honest criticism or intended to a very niche audience (eg. hot swapping SD cards might be critical in the eyes of someone producing video content).
