      He influenced me to hate apple and support right to repair.

      I know what you mean but he’s the definition of influencer just instead of selling vapid sponsored products he’s selling 44 minute long autistic rants where his hyper fixation is consumer rights.

          I’m not sure if that applies to Rossman actually.

          I do agree that depending on how we define influencer he may be one, but the revenue part is not necessarily it & there are many counterexamples of influencers for whom this activity is not their main source of revenue.

            FYI Rossman has videos on his own stance on influencers and whether he considers himself one. You can just search his channel for “influencer”. It comes up a bit too in his videos on Linus Sebastian.
