    Louis is self-admittedly an asshole, but he’s a fair asshole and his people stick by and swear by him, even after they leave.

    I respect him and truly feel he’s honest, especially when he has so many receipts.

    I’d rather an honest asshole than a kind manipulator.

      I hope I’m wrong for once. He does a lot of good, but people said the same about Mr. Beast when he was paying for surgeries.

        I get that, I think the difference is Mr. Beast never admitted to being a dick and presented himself as “fun and kind”, whereas Louis expressly and repeatedly says “I think I’m doing a good thing, verify if you want, fuck you if you disagree, I don’t care about your opinion.”

        I’ve had both kinds of people as bosses and employees, and I would absolutely work with the second kind again.

        I don’t think anyone with a base level of 2 perception was saying this about him at any point

          I never really paid much attention to him, but to the extent I expressed skepticism about him folks would generally act like I was too cynical.

            I’ve never seen one of his videos. I was able to make this judgment by looking at one of the thumbnails

              Any criticism got met with “Well, what have you done with YOUR life?” or “How many children have YOU given sight back to?” So as obvious as it seemed to those of us that saw it immediately, most people see a guy seemingly doing something good and become blind to the rest of it.
