My take as a cyclist on lockpickinglawyer videos:
The bad:
- He regularly violates the old lockpickers/DEFCON guideline of approaching a lock manufacturer first and offering them an opportunity to improve their product based on his findings (or at least change their marketing!) before going public.
The problem with this is that if he followed that rule, consumers would still be uninformed when buying the unimproved ones that were still in circulation. I don't feel bad for the manufacturers, some of this is testing that should have been done before they sold the product. In the case of the Ottolock, this was clearly egregious that this product was ever put out there at that price range.
