    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
