Imagine minding your own business, as you walk down the street. A stranger points a camera in your face, without saying a word. You don’t respond and he starts shouting expletives at you. You’re familiar with social media, so you know this guy’s motive. He’s one of those influencers who attempts to get a reaction out of people for views. EVERYONE HATES THIS TYPE OF INFLUENCER, but there is a type that gets away with this behavior. You may be thinking of the streamers that troll people like Jack Doherty or Johnny Somali. Nope, everyone hates them. Perhaps it’s a more low key type, like fitness influencers who film themselves at the gym and then get mad at people who walk in their shot? Nope everyone hates them too. The type of influencer that gets away with this behavior are called, “1st Amendment Auditors”. While there is some good in this community, it would be foolish to ignore the negatives. Today’s video will discuss these issues.

    Filming kids is a kinetically punishable offense.
  • @TheALoqado
    The first story about the lady being arrested for touching that guy genuinely made me feel sick, I hope she's doing okay
  • @Noodlyk18
    The fact that we all collectively went "lmaooo" when that one prank channel guy got shot at a mall says a lot. That first guy harassing a poor woman trying to make a living is fucking infuriating. I wish nothing but the worst upon those kinds of people.
  • @hi.genevieve
    this kind of behavior gives me the worst kind of anxious, sick feeling. how can people be like this? how can someone harass a woman just trying to make a living??
  • @cherusiderea1330
    It seems like the grown-ass man equivalent of holding your finger into someone's face and going, "I'm not touching you!"
  • @vffncl0
    one day they're going to piss off the wrong person ...
  • @ronoc9
    Why is it the people most concerned about their rights do the least good with them?
  • @GailNott
    There's a local guy who does that near me. He purposely harasses local government workers. It seems so unnecessary when we have bigger problems to deal with.
  • The problem is a lot of people “hate watch” videos instead of ignoring them. It’s not just giving them attention by the citizens that are provoked, but giving them attention by the people that dislike what the person in the camera is doing.
  • @JimmySlaughter
    I kinda knew these vloggers existed, but it never occurred to me that they are specifically trying provoke normal, everyday people for content. Thanks for making me aware of more terrible people, Donna. Now I'll know what to do if any of them ever come up and harass me.
  • @princessfetus
    Freedom of speech doesn’t = Freedom of repercussions I hate people who think just because they have freedom of speech they can just get away with ANYTHING.
  • @circleinfo
    Crazy how laws are different. In germany one of the biggest streamer did a several hour long livestream walking though a zoo (he even got written permission by the owner). For 30 seconds there was a woman visible who walked behind him. She sued him for being seen on camera and won in multiple courts.
  • @grouchygirl123
    The guy attempting to audit the school was so weird. How on earth could he justify doing that if only for monetization of his video. I’d like to believe this is ignorance but anytime something is amiss, it’s usually money related. Greed is the devil
  • @theshire9173
    It’s so infuriating when a genuine movement takes off and then greedy people try to make money off it by corrupting the movement. It’s good to record actual events of discrimination, but these frauditors actively inhibit progress by provoking people like this, making people question actual discrimination
  • @TheSarahJS
    I live near that sock store, the owner is awesome. They're super involved in the community, treat their employees well, sell local art, and genuinely care about what they sell.
  • These are so creepy, I would be so scared if some random guy starts filming me or my business and acted like this
  • I just don't understand why people can't just not film people who don't want to be filmed no matter what like unless the situation is needed to be filmed just harassing random people and provoking them is just really horrible
  • @CallMeMicahT
    Genuinely feel like this is a hidden gem of a channel.
  • @cg4432
    This man was in a shopping center, which are privately owned, and said it was public property. Laughable.
