I mean your argument is I don't them....therefore they should not be able to film
This person is a You Tuber, check out the signature. Not saying he is disruptive or rude (I've never heard of his channel), but that may be why.
Ah, that makes sense given his defensiveness. I long ago changed my DISboards settings to not display signature files, so I hadn't seen that.
We spend about the same as you, perhaps a bit more and personally, I haven't had the experience others have had but I can have an opinion on a theoretical scenario of how I'd feel about it, if I did. I can even expand on it to include someone in line, filming or streaming and doing so in a way that captures my children in their feed. When I am taking pictures or video of our kids, I make efforts to not include other people's young kids in my video. I know I wouldn't want ours in their videos so I conclude the reverse is true.
I have signature turned off but I just checked. Thank you.
Then please, do so
I think a lot of us have more issues with live streamers. I've had experiences when we've been trying to watch fireworks/parades and someone rudely pushed in front of us with their phone up in the air (blocking the view) and talking and saying hello to people on the stream, being obnoxious and loud - and you can see there are only about 15 people on the stream. Same on a few rides (Haunted Mansion comes to mind - and with the flash/light on). Most YouTubers I've seen in the parks have been respectful and stand off to the side to film and aren't speaking loudly. I appreciate that. My experience is mostly with WDW, not DL, but there are some rather obnoxious YouTubers who do not respect others (I'm looking at you Best Life & Beyond, JoJo, and Kyle Pallo - WDW based).
OMG, this I have seen! I can't be certain that person was streaming or on FaceTime but the flashlight on was super annoying as they were right behind us. We had picked a spot 90 minutes before the fireworks and we were fortunate to have a nice spot. They came and tried to edge my kids out of the way, I put a stop to that straight away and they then tried with a group of girls near to us. They shut that down just as quick but the person chose them to keep verbally abusing and trying to intimidate into letting her in front of them where this person would have had an unimpeded view. Initially I thought the light was retaliation but now you've got me rethinking back to that moment and the fact she was talking to people through the phone.
It can be easy to tell if it's streaming -sometimes. Look for hearts or other emoji's floating up the side of the screen. If you can see the bottom of the screen, it will look different from FaceTime. You will probably see text (comments) or a text box at the bottom. Live streaming is VERY annoying.
That would irritate me. I have had that done to me at Universal Orlando. Parks should not allow that, everyone in the group should be present before moving up the line. It's one thing when a single person needs to join a group or got left behind or had to exit the line for the restroom and is returning but a group of 10+ is tantamount to gaming the system.The one group that I did have a problem with is Mice Chat. I was in line for the Fantasmic dining package seating on the first day Fantasmic returned (May 24). One person in their group stood in the front of the line for hours by themselves. That day, guests (including content creators) lined up early. Everyone was respectful and there was a general feeling of excitement and anticipation. It was really fun to be in line with other fans. We thought that the person in the front of the line was there by herself. Then, just before they walked us down, a dozen or so people from Mice Chat jumped into line in front of everyone. Guests who had been waiting for hours were really upset. Mice Chat heard people shouting at them to go to the back of the line, but they ignored it. They were pompous, arrogant, entitled and disrespectful.
It was the first day back after being down for over a year. In general, DL was not prepared for crowd management that day.
That I can totally imagine. I will say, Disney parks handle lines, crowds and lightening/fastpass/express access much better than Universal.
No one here has said that all--or even a majority of--vloggers are rude.
What is happening or what people assume is happening? It seems like a lot of people in this thread threw out hypotheticals followed by the admission that they had never personally witnessed it in the parks.
Multiple people have said vloggers should be banned from the parks though.
Hypotheticals are a valid way to evaluate a future scenario and also a means to prevent one as well. I shouldn't wait until I'm faced with loud obnoxious people ruining my expensive vacation before voicing concern. The cost of the real vacation that is ruined because no one spoke up sooner won't be hypothetical money.
See this is what some of us want clarification on
How can anyone possibly answer in absolutes like that? Trick question, the answer is simple. No one can.
