So a purely hypothetical situation:
You are in a theme park and you notice a live streamer there with you taking donations online.
Could you walk up to them and hand them a $5 bill and then go to security and complain about them soliciting donations on property? Might need 2 people one to hand them the money, one to complain about it. Or send them a Super Chat and show that to security saying something like you felt moved by their soliciting and had to give them money.
Video would show you voluntarily handing them $5, and kill your plot. Or they might actually refuse it outright. Or they could just post your face on YouTube. Seems like a poorly thought out plan.
Why not join the super chat, and point out the grift live? Seems like a better use of trolling. It also protects your anonymity.
If Disney wanted to enforce its no video for profit park attendance rules they could do it in a flash and shutdown 90% of all Disney vlogging. It would really increase the perks and Disney’s control of handing out media passes and invites. They don’t because the benefits of the free advertising outweigh the cons. I could see them doing it someday if they wanted tighter control. If I were a Disney vlogger and it’s was my full time job or even just a large percentage of my income it would keep me up at night. Actually, between getting kicked off YouTube, Disney pulling the rug out from you, and just getting on wrong end of a social media storm there are plenty of reasons being a vlogger is fraught with concerns.
Exactly. Disney realizes its good free press. Also, the Vloggers pose no more of a threat, than the 10,000 other guests taking selfies, filming, etc. If the Vloggers were approaching random guests for comments, contributions, in-park guest donation (not from Patreons or other out-of-park platforms), or some other annoyance, I'm sure Disney would come down with the hammer of the Gods.
I love iThemePark's walkthroughs. He has good production. They tailed him. He filmed a clandestinen security officer following him, and was banned. That to me was dumb, but Disney can do as it wants.
The only vlog thing that truly annoys me, is when they film their feet while walking. Just point the camera up. Adam ruins so many shots doing the same.
