Streaming from restaurants (shitpost minirant) (sh.itjust.works)

Couple days ago. Hanging out with a few friends, burgers and beers at a sit down place. Not high end, but not McDs either. Normal place.

I notice a girl one table over is clearly doing a whole ass livestream or sth. Not just a quick selfie. Clearly streaming. Wagging her phone all around, for like 10+ minutes.

My friends didn't even notice. I'm mad tho, b/c I don't wanna be on whatever shit some influencer is gonna u/l the stream to. Prob youtube or her IG or w/e.

But nothing I can do. Getting up to ask her to cut it TF out would only have made it worse. That just makes me content fodder!

That is all. Thank you for coming to my rant, and I hope you are all having a good day.

If the restaurant had cameras, you were already “content fodder!”

Kinda... Different tho! The restaurant prob doesn't u/l their security cam streams to youtube or IG.

It might make it to databrokers, although some are just closed circuit and don't make it off-prem. Depends on the place. But honestly I'd rather be on the restaurant's security system, than behind some yapping influencer. And I'd rather be a rando in the b/g, than featured as hey get a load of this clown asking me to stop streaming in a public restaurant.
