Disney also has a larger proportion of rides where it is safe to do that when compared to other parks.

Tokyo Disney has cracked down on Disney Vlogging, would you want the US parks to follow suit?

I don't think that Disney puts out ride throughs. They may make them but only for archives if they do. All those incredible Martin video's would not exist if not for Vlogger type recordings.

Really no different then the rules that have been in place at WDW for some time now and it hasn't lead to Disney cracking down on Vloggers/Streamers. Disney is fully aware of these people, they know what they are doing, they communicate with them when they doing something inappropriate. They clearly are ok with the current state of things.

IMO that shouldn't matter.

My point is, other parks are probably doing it because they have so many rides where it is unsafe, it's easier to have a blanket policy. I doubt Disney will ever stop people from filming on rides.

Back then was different. Now with everyone having cameras on their phones it makes things a lot worse. It's more a safety issue now then before. I get there hasn't been any phone incidents at Disney yet but it's only a matter of time.
I mean, having good quality video back then was a huge ordeal. Nowadays people can shoot in insane quality with their phones. I remember watching Martin's snow white video and being simply amazed by the quality.
The ease of access to such tech and the people who abuse it spoil the whole bunch unfortunately.

In terms of injury risk, there is a significant difference between having a phone out on Pirates though and having one out on a Velocioaster level of coaster.
Second, the example you linked happened on Busch Gardens' Iron Gwazi.
Third, nothing in the article says the phone owner was taking photos.
According to the article, Iron Gwazi is supposedly "North America’s tallest and the fastest and steepest hybrid coaster in the world. Iron Gwazi takes thrills to new heights, plunging riders from a 206 foot-tall peak into a 91-degree drop and reaching top speeds of 76 miles per hour. Riders on Iron Gwazi will experience a dozen airtime moments, including three inversions, as they sink their teeth into crocodile-inspired thrills.”
[The first sentence of that description is a doozy!]
For a coaster at that level of intensity, the park should have everyone clear their pockets, enforced w/metal detectors and free lockers, like Universal does.
I despise flash photos on rides, but...I can make a small allowance for limited photos/videos on some rides, especially late at night when the parks are very empty. If you are on pirates, and nobody is in the boat to see you using your camera, have at it.

Nothing was more annoying than ipads when they first came out, people would hold them up high to record shows without a care as to who was sitting behind them.

The owner wasn't the one that got hurt. The owner of the phone caused the girl to get hurt. That's why I hate people having their phones out on rides.
Yes I know Pirates is not the same as Iron Gwazi but I still think there is no need to have your phone out on a ride.

I picked up a shift at a QSR restaurant today. Durning the height of the lunch rush there were FIVE vloggers in my section taking up tables with their equipment and laptops. Eventually all but one for the hint and left after my not so subtle “oh it looks like they are done with their table I don’t see them eating any food” while helping guests with trays of food find a spot.

I thought the same, I didn’t see anything in the rules that would prevent Vlogging in any way.

I watch a lot of vloggers that go to different parks other then Disney. They manage to do a good job showing off the parks without having to have the cameras out on the rides.

In my experience when they gather like that and they're not filming they often have this behavior.

We're here at Magic Kingdom for the day. I'm going to show you how to get the most from Genie+, but first like, subscribe and hit that bell to get all our updates. 3 unskippable ads and the required just over 10 minutes later ( to hit that youtube algorithm)
Actually I've really never been bothered by one.

If people would stop giving these people gifts and money, many of them would go away. Kyle Pallo, for example, actually does a video from time to time where he opens up all the gifts and gift certificates people give him. I’ve lost count of how many free cruises he has had so far and he’s gotten so obnoxious that I can’t even watch anymore.

I mind the whole business of vloggers being covert paid promotion, and of lifestylers chasing that position.
But otherwise they don't bother me. Least of all physically. I mind the average guest with camera more. Nightshows are diminished with the light pollution of raised phones. When enjoying a sight, people tap me on the shoulder demanding I move because I ruin their shot. There is flash photography on rides. Main Street and the area in front of the Tree of Life are one big photo studio.Etc.

Honestly
What's the big deal?
They re not making a ton of noise or disturbing people.
Just filming like most people do for their home videos.

The big deal is doing it on attractions.. It's incredibly rude, distracting and in some cases unsafe.
