I stopped watching Legal Eagle about a month ago for two reasons:

  1. I watched him as a legal professional to get a better insight on what might come. It's disappointing that he's been continuously blindsighted by the events, no matter how crazy these events are. I don't gain any insight on what will happen.

  2. Recently, he had another lawyer do a piece where they mentioned Hillary Clinton's email account, and since I usually trust this channel, I felt so gaslit I had to pause the video and search up what the scandal was. Lo and behold, it was an email server. Which means the only thing I fact-checked him on was wrong.

So I don't gain anything by watching him, and I can't trust exactly what he says. For a law channel, that's enough for me to stop watching.

From what I remember hearing people say he's mostly alright, but occasionally gets things wrong or gives the wrong take when something is not in his field of specialization.

I think the Hasbro OGL scandal last year was one instance of him missing the point and not doing his research, for example.

Devon is fine. As someone who trends anarchist I personally find myself disagreeing at times. But not over his coverage. He covers the law which I often disagree with. But he covers the law pretty responsibly which I'm here for. Because it's always good to have an understanding of things even if you disprove of them. Actually especially if you disprove of them you better be able to articulate why.
