minus-squarezarkanian@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·16 days ago I don’t understand why the guy is recording. For “content”. I don’t get why these random people care. Because creeps can stalk and harass you online. What’s the appeal of watching random women at the grocery store? There’s a video on YouTube of a guy counting to 100,000. That’s it. Simply counting out loud in a droning voice. It has over 33 million views. What’s the appeal of that? You’re being recorded from his glasses, yes, but you’re also being recorded from like 8 other camera angles with or without him. Sure, but the store isn’t posting those videos on social media for people to comment on. If they were, they’d probably get sued, and for good reason.
