It was hard for me to figure out how to censor this video, as I wanted to protect identities but still talk about this issue. The people whose identities aren’t blurred are those posted without malicious intent and who have already been exposed to 100,000+ viewers. If I felt that showing them would expose them to even more people than they already were/if the poster seemed to have sinister intent, their faces were blurred.

Best way to avoid the "negative" audience: be a normal fucking human being, get a normal job, don't bother complete strangers, and be anonymous online. I think I've got it mastered to a T. To the point where I don't have Twitter, don't have insta, don't have twitch, and only post to Facebook every couple months to interact with family I avoid in real life and snapchat so that I can speak to family without giving them my phone number. Most of my extended family only know what my daughter looks like as a newborn, since that's the only picture I ever posted of her.

I've had people invite us into the dance circle at parties while we're clearing the tables, wanting to spin us around and have fun with us. It's NORMAL for people to enjoy themselves.

On the topic of Gym influencers, I actually recently saw one where the lady recording actually requests permission to film if anyone walks into the shot unknowingly, she just goes "Hey I'm actually recording right now, are you comfortable with your face being in that?" She didn't ask them to move, in fact one guy went "Oh, yeah that's cool, do you want me to leave?" and her response was "Not at all, if you aren't comfortable with it I'll just shut off my camera and delete the footage, but you're more than welcome to stay and work out with me if you're ok with being filmed" and I cannot stress how wonderful that was to see. I genuinely wish more influencers were like her rather than the type shown in this video that go "People were in this public space when I was trying to record, how dare they ruin my footage just by being in a _public_ space >:c"

It actually already is a thing. @lavenderandcambridge, as a filmmaker you well know you wouldn’t be able to simply set up a tripod, lights, audio gear and then record a talent at IHOP. Same goes for recording with a smartphone for a purpose of putting it on social media platforms, especially if you are “an influencer” whose content generates substantial profits for you and/or the platform. While general public thinks of malls, restaurants, and shops as “Public” due to logic of “being in public”, those spaces are not really public. They’re private businesses. The moment you step into those private premises, you are subject to their rules, and can’t hide behind First Amendment argument, if they tell you to stop recording. You may record in private spaces, only if it’s to report on breaking news events, or for private off-line consumption. If you’re recording for Social Media, even if you’re not monetized yourself, those social sites are monetizing your content, hence what you put out is for-profit-commercial-activity, which absolutely requires a recording permit from private business to film/photograph on their property. Influencers have been just getting away with it… for now. I’ve already seen some trendy coffeeshops and restaurants, put out signs asking to not record other patrons - they’re still cool with you taking a picture of the food you ordered. Do you remember a trend of photo/video shoots on active train tracks a number of years ago? Well… a number of photographers/videographers have eventually received court summons and had to pay large fines, because unless you’re crossing tracks at a designated crossing, walking on or taking pics/vids on active train tracks, is considered trespassing and is illegal, not to mention it’s very dangerous. They’ve incriminated themselves by putting the evidence online 😂 Besides these already existing private business rules, I’m actually most concerned with how influencers are spoiling various places for anyone else who may want to enjoy them. Even some local municipalities are already prohibiting what’s perceived as commercial activity in their city and state parks. You can’t take a picture of a friend, because the park in the background gets recognized on Insta and you may get contacted by the city with citation for shooting commercially without a permit.

I'm remembering when I was a kid visiting a Japanese-styled garden in my area and a couple was getting professional wedding photos on one of the only bridges connecting the two sides of the park. For ten minutes. There were a dozen people waiting.

Karen went from "someone with an unreasonable request" to "Ew a woman is angry? Ugh!!!" Literally just another shitty way to judge women for having emotions, similar to what the term hysteria was used for. I hate it. I've heard stories of mothers panicking over their children's safety and getting called "Karen", it's so gross and weird that the Internet comes up with new terms to shame women like at least once per year.

News reporter: What did I do wrong?

9:59 this made me laugh personally because of one time I was waiting at a bus stop, and this mom who joins her kids to get them on and to school is a regular. She was very openly abusive to her kids, like very emotionally manipulative. One time she smacked her kid in public. During one particular rant she commented on how masks are fake and COVID isn't real, but the stupid bus makes us wear them. I side-eyed her over my mask but didn't say anything. But her eyes snapped up at me. I looked away, and she just started yelling "What, got something to say, Karen? Got a problem with how I parent? Bet you don't even have kids. Why don't you go ruin someone else's day, Karen!" Her tone was very much daring me to start a fight. (Before you ask, yes I did try to make a report and help the kids. I didn't know the family or names, nor where they lived, so I haven't a clue what happened to them. I don't take that bus anymore.)

The only gap between them was the one between them, and the camera. I don't know what I was thinking so I walked in front of it.

In Germany it is illegal to film otherd unless they gave consent or they are in a crowd and thus don't stick out. This has so far prevented the worst of this over here.

And it protects the individual with the camera from getting slapped in the face and get their camera thrown into a river by a pissed on, not-consenting video subject

Tbh I feel SO bad for you guys. I’m a millennial and I literally had a conversation last night with a friend I’ve known for decades who was basically my partner in crime all through high school. We were talking about how thankful we were social media wasn’t in our pockets or this huge thing like it is now. It was a big new thing with most of us, but you literally couldn’t be addicted to it because it was tethered to usually a single location in your house. We couldn’t put every single immature thought or embarrassing photo or activity online, and going viral was like an extremely rare concept, it only existed really for certain funny KZread videos, and even then it might be like 30k people and that was the biggest it’d get. It’s scary how in like a single decade this has completely consumed nearly an entire generation. And it’s getting so much worse for Gen Alpha. We got the best of both worlds, got to have MySpace and Facebook (before it sucked) and early Snapchat Twitter and Insta before they became horrible, and got to have our privacy and anonymity. I feel really bad your generation truly, you guys are basically expected to be addicted to social media and be kind of mindless wanna be influencers. I personally don’t feel that way because I know every individual is different. I try not to judge even when I see kids doing things to record in public, because I know teenagers go through phases and you’re in that weird in between phase of not realllly an adult but not realllly a kid so you’re trying to figure out your lives. That is totally normally! It’s just becoming harder not to judge when I see 3 kids with their parents at a homegoods and they’re making some way too overly sexy dance tik tok in the pillow aisle. Like you’re 12 wtf! Honestly you guys all staying away from social media for the most part will do SO much for your mental health in the long run trust me.

As someone who works in customer service one of my worst fears is that I have to enforce a policy and someone decides to whip out their camera and record me, throw it on the Internet and create this false narrative that I’m an awful human being for just doing my job. It terrifies me to no end.

The funny thing is, since she recorded at a booth, the camera angle could have been straight at her and no innocent bystanders would be in view. She could have even cropped the frame to get a sliver of aisle to emphasize that she is seated at a booth and the worst thing that could happen is seeing an elbow, a leg or a passerby for a second, in view. This critique is on point about how other people are being treated like props because the content creators really believe that they are THE STAR of the show and they can do whatever they want in a business or public location.

Your videos are a masterpiece. I'm hooked. Thank you for such an interesting content.

The amount of people that called me a Karen or entitled because I “wanted the rules to be broken for me” is ridiculous. All I asked for was “if this happened, what then?” It seems like Karen is so overly used nowadays for everyone who as you stated is simply standing up for themselves or asking how certain things work. It’s absolutely ridiculous

We try to keep a low profile online considering this guy has a history of stalking and domestic violence against his own children (and me who is not his child), past girlfriends (like my mum) and his current wife (who was his case worker btw).

I was just thinking that gyms and restaurants and other public places should start posting signs that people recording there must have a recording license (or pay a serious fine). If movie studios have to pay for a recording license to film in different locations, these supposed "influencers" also should have to pay the same recording license.

Nice vids love the points. Also partially unrelated but you sound like a news reporter which makes this even more, love the vid keep up the great work! :)

Okay but those clips of the gym girls asking permission were so wholesome though

This video showed the two sides to the (problematic) influencers of today. The “I went into a public space, and the public had the indecency to be there too 😡” and then the “I went into a public space, and there were people who didn’t want to be in my video/recorded 😡”

@@Diogenes_ofSinope nah I get it, I just don't like that it's called that. Also, decent people in general are already way more respectful than they should be, because to us it's unfathomable how so many people can be that inadequate without seeing it as inadequacy, so we feel like there's something wrong with us. It's commonly accepted to shame people who think the problem is in others as if it's extremely hard to notice that is the case, and day in and day out we're told we aren't perfect either so we shouldn't point out obvious flaws in dire need of addressing. I think being more disrespectful and standing your ground when someone crosses even the mildest boundaries, regardless of how kindly they try to ask you if they can, should be something normal. You are your own main character, that's not the problem, the problem is being oblivious to when others should or shouldn't be okay with it. For example, people call taking a picture of something and being in the frame "main character syndrome", when people just want to capture a moment with themselves in it because it's their memory. Imagine looking through old photos and reminiscing of the good times you had there and instead of a younger, happy you, there's just some monument there.

I’m not diagnosed with autism but I’ve struggled with mental health throughout my life and have the similar ongoing fear and paranoia. I will never forget being homeless and unable to move my car, this lady started screaming at me to move it (the brakes were not properly working). I begged her to stop raising her voice bc I can’t process while people are yelling at me, but the yelling continued so I started recording because I like being able to understand situations, even if I can’t process them in the moment (also was scared for my life lol). I told her I struggle with really bad PTSD and can’t have this conversation while she’s yelling at me. She whipped out her camera and told me “maybe you need to go back to therapy if your PTSD is this bad!” It was my last week with my therapist, I had to leave the program as my family was moving away and I couldn’t afford the services on my own. That comment was the one that finally broke me and I shut down, couldn’t use my phone or speak or properly breathe. I forever am afraid of her uploading this video of me hyperventilating and sobbing on the internet, it’s made me scared to have any sort of publicity as I’m afraid she’s going to post one of the most humiliating and terrifying moments of my life. I wish people were more considerate, as I still have a fear of going outside and being recorded to this day, and it truly gets in the way of everything. I’m scared to exist in a workplace and I’m scared to exist outside of one. This common lack of courtesy affects so many people :/

The entire school relentlessly bullied me for six months until I just stopped using the supports to alleviate my pain. I only found out why through a friend because i refuse to get social media. This type of stuff that some people find funny, makes me sick. Because "exposing me" to a public account did nothing to hurt them and has made living my life harder tenfold.

Honestly, imo Germany has it right: it's illegal to film and post someone without their informed consent. If you film in public, faces have to be blurred or you have to pick somewhere where people won't walk into your shot. This (to my knowledge) applies to all ages. The US could do with a similar law.

Well, not quite true. You can absolutely film in public without having to blur faces. Once there is a 'crowd' so a group of people and the people aren't the focus of the shot, you don't have to blur anyone. If someone walks into the shot in the background they won't be blurred. It's only when you're filming specific people or small groups of people that you'd have to blur them. I think it's called something like the landscape rule.

hey i totally get that. if you wanna work out you should be able to in peace; unfortunately building up a home gym can be super costly and difficult to do. a lot of people really into gym culture won't actually rib on you (too much, there will always be jerks) for your physique, and if you find the right people to go with it can be a good excuse to have a social outing with your pals/make new friends. I've found that generally speaking, if you get really into something with all the right enthusiasm, people who have active hobbies and aren't gross snobs will be happy to share it with you (: finding people who are like "aw hell yea, new gym bro!" are way more worth it to hang out with than "ew, i hate seeing people at the gym that don't look like me". but if it's still not something that you want to do, there are gyms/fitness rooms you can share w/ a smaller group of people for a few hours (private gyms)! also, looking at the time of day that gyms are usually the most active can help; I usually only go to the gym in either the early hours of the morning when no one is there, or the later hours of the night when no one is there, because I am a person who would... not really be super typically seen in the gym in the first place (kind of stocky nerdy tguy with the unfortunate height of 5'1"). Went from being ogled at to being able to work out in peace and relative quiet, where the most I've had to deal w/ was the people running the place. If you're a college student and live near a college campus, they might have a fitness center you can check out -- when I went to college I would time my workouts to be in the middle of class breaks, since I had huge gaps (2-3 hours between morning and afternoon classes) -- and that would usually coincide with the emptiest hours. i hope that you're able to find something that works for you, anyways, because everyone deserves to do what they want or enjoy hobbies that they want to enjoy without scrutiny and the fear of essentially 24/7 surveillance. (also, personally some of my favorite at-home workouts have been stupid dancing games. i know it sounds silly, but like some of those choreos are ROUGH and can get you in REALLY "good shape" while also being a blast and a half! and since there are tons of screen-grabs of dancing games, you don't even need to have a tracker or anything -- just groove to it! :3) sorry for the unsolicited advice -- it's just that i know how ur feeling and have found some workarounds for me, and i hope that you are able to find ones that work for you. gymfluencers suck, and sap the fun out of everything !! and it's a good thing that you're not forcing urself thru horrible anxieties and are instead taking care of urself mental-health wise.
