So if an young guy who you rated as attractive came up to you and started filming you , that wouldn't make you at all uncomfortable ?

Based on the number of vlogs I see on YouTube shot with DSLRs, I don't think many people care about being filmed.

I probably show up in hundreds of videos from bike commuting over the Brooklyn Bridge. It doesn't matter. I'm guessing 99.99% of the videos go unwatched anyway.

You ever talk to kids? They're well aware of privacy invasions and when to put away the camera. They're trained on proper social media etiquette.

genuine question: do you have evidence for that? This interests me

That's because they cut the ones who don't want to be filmed out.

It doesn't matter to you. And you know what, that it doesn't matter to you doesn't matter to me, so this gains nothing.

I don't know much about vlogging, but I assume that the controversy would increase views/shares/revenue, and as a result, you'd want to keep the controversial segments in.
