Yes. Twenty-five cameras is not a movement. It's a handful of pissed off vandals, maybe trying to start a movement.
This guy discovered that Flock cameras are terribly easy to hack, which might be harder to trace.
"This guy"? You mean Benn Jordan? He's not exactly a small YouTuber.
No disrespect intended for Mr. Jordan.
God forbid someone not know or care about YouTube cam whores.
dawg what do you mean by calling him a YouTube cam whore
Harvesting clicks/views for money. Almost all of it is worthless shit and awful people. Sure, there are a few cam whore out there with a amazing personalities who really are putting themselves through college and taking care of orphans, but lost in the social media sea of assholes the individual cam whore still averages out to 'asshole'.
Benn Jordan makes, IMO, some of the best content. His stuff is intelligent and highly informative.
Saying "this guy" instead of just using his name doesn't give the proper due credit.
I believe the world would be a better place if social media, including streaming sites, were shut down and the "influencers" on them were all burned to death. Perhaps he's one of the handful of decent people who would be lost in the purge of shit. Don't really care.
I agree. But your framing of someone you clearly have no knowledge about as a "cam whore" is a horrible and disingenuous thing to say.
