The more I hear about Louis Rossman and Futo the less I trust either of them. I used to like Louis for his right to repair conversations, but Futo is a very shady organization. They act like they promote open source but refuse to adopt actual FOSS licensing and try to be overly corporate while also trying to play the pro-consumer side. I don’t like it. There are YouTube frontends made by actual FOSS developers with proper FOSS licenses, so I’m not sure why anyone should support or use Grayjay.
Rossman doesn’t work for FUTO anymore. FUTO has done some weird shit and Rossman has made some missteps in the past, but at least for him his heart seems to be in the right place. I don’t think it’s in his nature to want to screw you over so to speak.

Did he quit? I don’t see any concrete references online, just vague form conversations about it.
Not sure if he quit or was fired, but he updated his employment status with FUTO on LinkedIn.
