Are there really that many vloggers at the parks?

[Vinnie Mac]

Recently I found myself being recorded by a pair of these morons and instructed them to get their camera off me and to immediately stop recording me or I will call my friends in security. I put my own camera on them while I said this and they did not like it one bit. I found them later camped out by a washroom recording a large swath of the public, for what. These clowns need to be stopped and thrown out of the park - every freaking one of them. We don't go an vacation to have some bozos recording us constantly.

Not gonna lie this ain't really making you out to be the good guy. I get not wanting to be recorded but all that needed was a simple and mature "hey, I'd prefer not to be recorded" instead of you threatening to call security.

You also live in the modern ages where cameras and video technology is everywhere. You don't need to react like this anytime you are being recorded because I guarantee there are plenty times in which you are being recorded and you don't even know it.

Again that is not issue. These are people with gimbals etc. that are specifically and intentionally recording for YouTube purposes. And they have not right to sit a record me or anyone else for extended periods of time.

Vloggers don't record any single person any longer then someone recording a home video. If they are intentionally targeting you, that would be one thing, but if you are just ending up in the video because you are in the park that is no different then anyone else recording a video or taking a picture.

Technically Vloggers are in violation of the rules, but Disney knows about them, their media relations people work with them, so Disney clearly doesn't have a problem with it.

I'm sure the Disney policy is no filming for "unapproved commercial purposes"
By not stopping these vloggers they are giving them approval to film.
Therefore they have the right to film.

Can you site the Florida law that supports this statement as I would like to have it for reference.

Vloggers never actually target anyone…they only target the ad clicks and that sweet, sweet no investment cash

You have no expectation of, or right to, privacy when in any public place.

Its not so much the vloggers that are the problem day to day. Its the tic toc wanna be trendy people that are somewhat of a nuisance.

Well, theres probably going to be good news on that front when TikTok gets pulled next week.

I did ask them to stop without a threat the first time, and they just kept right on doing it.

Correct…until it’s being used for profit. That NIL stuff is still being sorted out…as is the idea social media should operate with autonomy…which under no circumstances should they.

How is sitting outside a washroom filming people coming in and out of a washroom an acceptable thing to be doing?

Even then.

Say you're at a baseball game and they show you in the crowd. You don't get a cut of the broadcast fee because you're on TV. They used to print on the tickets that you might be shown, but they don't print tickets anymore, so there's that. I believe the Disney tickets used to have some similar language. And there's no way to enforce private citizens in a public place from having to pay or ask permission to film each other.

You go in public, you might get filmed/photo'd. You can't do anything about it, you don't have any right to tell people they can't.

We recently started watching a few video bloggers on YouTube. At first it was to see rides we haven’t rode yet but it then turned into non intentional comic theater. These people have zero self awareness and man it is funny. Funny to the point that we made word bingo cards to play with the videos. The one thing we noticed is that bloggers meets up with other bloggers during videos and you see all of them doing their own shows.

My question is are there really that many at the parks on a given day? In the videos it certainly looks like there are bottlenecks in areas with bloggers. Like the old smoking areas for cigarette use.

I am only using my DVC points for home stays until we can get AP’s again but I am now wondering if the local attention seekers are part of the reason for the stop in AP distribution?

Seriously, it seems like these sources of entertainment are like the mallrats of the late 80’s. Is there a gang of misfits at Walt Disney?

Take a look at Hong Kong opening the MTR line. Now that's crazy.

Fans crazy over HK MTR expansion

Hong Kong’s fourth cross-harbour rail line, an expansion of the East Rail Line, opened on May 15, 2022. Hundreds of rail enthusiasts flocked to the new Exhibition Centre Station in the…

The problem is not a few vloggers. Disney stopped APs because they want the least number of guests in the park who spent the most money.

The Disney Data Team has determined APs do not spend enough money while in the park.

Are there APs that spend a lot at the park at the same time don’t visit frequently? Yes, but the Disney Data Team must look at the data as a whole.

Maybe you are very photogenic?

It’s “sticky”…there’s a yet to be determined fine line on what is being used. A crowd shot for 5 seconds?…no
What if they take your picture for 10 with a food or merchandise product? And then tell you to “pay the price” after the clip?

And then there is the clown that has their camera on you for more then 10 minutes straight.

One of these things is not like the others.

IF this happened, and we only have your word on that, how do you know it was a vlogger and not just a random guest?

 

[mysto]

I don't like being filmed but that's not the real problem. It's the fake enthusiasm that gets to me. You will be hard pressed to convince me it's genuine.

Now if Eeyore were a vulgger I would subscribe. Backside of magic would come pretty close.

Because they take a break from watching me to babble like idiots into the camera themselves. Cast Members in the area also took notice of their activities.
