After doing some serious research on this young woman, I have concluded that I approve of his choices, and that there are many different flavors in the world to enjoy, even if they don't necessarily look like you might enjoy them at first. Or, my standards might be as low as his.

To con someone out of something, you would have to make a promise and then backtrack away from said promise. Such as "Donate to this and you'll win a prize" only for that person to not give out that prize. That's a con.
If anything, you're getting to see the park (and crowds) from the comfort of your own home. That's good to most who can't afford to go down to WDW right now.
Then what would you call them?

A person with a YouTube account? Im not sure to be honest. I just think content creator is a bit much when they’re just filming something that’s already made.

I am not sure what you are getting at. They produce videos/live streams, I like their videos so I pay them for the content they created. It's no different the me buying a digital download of a song I like.

Doing a high quality live stream take a lot of effort.

But they’re still just filming something that’s been created by someone else. Not saying people can’t enjoy watching them, I’m just finding more and more people are becoming “in park content creators” and I’m having more and more experiences being interrupted by these people streaming/filming/Narrating everything and anything. I really wish I didn’t have to hear Michael Kaye loudly talk about his darn soup for 20 mins into a phone on a tripod on the table when I’m trying to enjoy dinner.

Did he say if he would go out of his way for it?

Oh dear god. She is, uh, something.
LOL. I briefly scrolled through her other Twitter account. I wonder if Adam gave her the birthday present she was looking for.

I never minded Adam before and would sometimes watch his videos. But with the addition of his new sidekick who needs a good dose of ritalin or something, his videos are now more annoying and tedious to watch than that annoying Tim Tracker hipster.

+1 on that. Take Whistlin Diesel. Days of planning, redneck engineering, and filming takes just to produce a 15 minute video that seamlessly looks like a "hey hold muh beer" moment. It does take a lot of work and talent to create a successful YT channel. Or under-the-table corporate sponsorship/production as I suspect with a few non-Disney kid show vloggers.
I had the pleasure of watching one vlogger doing a walkaround and recording tips at the Polynesian this week. One self-shot take and he would move on to his next location. I didn't recognize him and based on what I observed of his steam of consciousness content creation efforts, I don't think I ever will recognize him. But it gives him something to do and really didn't negatively impact anybody, except for maybe the people trying to exit the doors while he was standing in front of them. But no more disruptive than any number of weirdos around the parks stopping in bad places to make ducklips and take selfies.

The "content" they are creating is the video and their commentary. It's not that much different than a travel writer/photographer or food critic or movie reviewer, it's just in a digital format and to a different scale.

You obviously have no idea what you are talking about. I am big fan of Resort TV1, they put a lot of effort into doing great live streams. The have spent a ton of money finding the best equipment to stream with, they have worked with people to get specially modified streaming software to help improve the experience, they have learned how well streaming works in each area of the park and on each attraction and adjust their stream on the fly to keep the stream working, and they come up with creative things to do on streams. As for the actual streaming process, just try walking around a crowded park, keeping an eye on the phone to be sure you are showing something interesting, trying not in interfere with other guests, keeping an eye on stream quality and adjusting settings on the fly, watching the weather radar, checking ride times, reading the chat and interacting with your viewers in the chat and in the park all at that same time. Can barely walk through a crowded park without tripping on people.

Oh, it is easy to do, but not so easy to do well. Developing content that people want to watch and gaining a following and monetizing it is a type of business savvy. There are 37 million YouTube channels. Most probably don't make any money, and some people post just because they enjoy it. Just like we like to post here. It's a hobby.

I'll second you on the tech piece. It seems like they are always buying and trying new equipment out to keep the stream at the best quality. Also sounds like they bounce with multiple carriers and and wifi to get the best show. There's a lot going on, as well as all the other considerations. I'm not in the Hopper fan club, but they do seem to put a lot of effort into these streams.
I put live streams just below being in park, if I cant be there, it is more interesting to watch everything play out as it would be if i was there.
I will give extra props though to those virtual streams and retro ones started during the closure. (there prerecorded rides, but cant be picky at that point)

I have actually spend time with them on a stream, you get a totally different perspective on how hard it is when you see it in person.

For the record, I don't hate Adam the Woo. I believe that deep down he is genuinely a good dude at heart. I DO. Adam's problem is he is his own worst enemy. Like when he got banned at Universal he made too much of a scene to be noticed and that lead to the universal higher ups noticing him and going "that's the guy that broke in and filmed nickelodeon studios. ban him". He tries too much to make himself the center of attention at times. I do think his heart is in the right place. but some of his videos are sooo ego filled they are a turn off. I appreciate he does not do superchats. Makes him less of a con artist because he still has ads on his videos for Disney park content he had no hand in. Good dude overall, but his content is something to be desired at times. He tries too hard. He is the less of the offenders but still an offender.. The trackers and freshbaked and justin scarred are the biggest scammers of them all.

Now I've got to ask: what has Justin Scarred pulled? I know he sells shirts and random crap, but wasn't aware of any scamming or maybe I overlooked it.
