I love Louis and I've been following his videos for a long time. What he does is supremely important to our messed up society.

But here's the thing: for the past few months, I've had the distinct feeling than each of Louis' videos is slightly more unhinged than the previous one.

I mean I'm fully aware Louis' videos are not mainstream, and until recently, I've always felt there was a clear method to the randomness. But lately, it¨s been more randomness than method for me, and it's reached a point where I feel it's doing a disservice to the causes of right to repair and sovereign ownership.

Am I the only one who feels this way?

I really hate to come out saying this, but I really think there's something going on with Louis, and beyond the causes he fights for on our behalf - and goodness knows I'm eternally grateful for what he's achieved - I'm honestly a bit worried for him.

Yes, Rossmann is autistic. The "repeat the same point ten times in a row" trait he has is sort of a love/hate thing I guess. As I said in another comment, he was on a hot streak a while ago commenting on important and/or interesting topics and I didn't mind it then. It's only grating to me now because, as you say, not all of his current videos are related to interesting issues.
