Dave is amazing, and his content on YouTube is very entertaining. This is a pragmatic answer for those who want or need Windows in some capacity, and then want to go on a use local accounts. Have some decency and recognize good advice when you see it.

It's useful information for those who need it, but the way it is presented sounds delusional and contradictory.

He says you don't need a Microsoft account, but goes on to explain actually you do need a Microsoft account.

It just sounds like pure cope.

For some people even needing a burner account is absolutely off the table and in no way a solution, and the fact of the matter is that an account is now required.

It only really works if you maintain access to a burner account, which might be difficult in the long term.
