Seriously thinking on working on this.

    “Content not viewable in your region.”

    Hilarious.

    Imgur sold children’s personal data and geoblock to try to evade the fine.

        Uh, I heard it in the news.

        Iirc, the ICO (data protection regulator) preliminarily found that imgur was selling user data to advertisers, having been profiling users for age band (including children).

        They then threatened imgur with a fine if they didn’t agree steps to protect children’s data, but imgur decided to protest by geoblocking the country.

        ICO say that liability for previous illegal sale of children’s data does not disappear, and imgur blame it on the much less popular online safety act, which is weird because the investigation started well before the act came into force.

        Imgur were also shitty because they deleted a vast amount of older images because the posters didn’t have a subscription with them, which kind of betrays the whole original point of the website.

        I think they also sacked the original creators, but I may be mixing them up with another rapidly shittifying webcorp.

    Nope is the right choice. It could be a monster, a crazy person, an influencer, or a prank. No one wants to be involved with any of those.

    I’d love to know which of the sound effects were real. That would make a big difference to me. That and whoever is holding the camera.

      Doubt any of the original sound is on there, be far more boring. I don’t mind slight embellishment like this!

      Camera is likely propped up somehow, rest is edited in post. My wife does exactly that filming her TikTok.

      Years ago I saw this video of a guy with a disability where his legs had grown essentially backwards, so his gait looked, let’s say “non-standard.” It’s rare, but it happens. He lived somewhere in Latin America and the video was him getting body painted like a demon and the popping out of alleys and around corners, chasing people. Everyone, adults and kids, lost their minds with fear. I can’t find the video, but temping the first half of fight or flight like that seems like a bad idea.

        My favorite is the dude who dresses in a skin tight green suit, and ding-dong ditches hotel rooms. He stands at the end of a long hallway, and when they open the door he runs at them in a similar posture to this video. They freak the fuck out and to back in their rooms. But it’s only gonna take one of them not being able to get their key card to work before he gets punted square in the upside down teeth. Lol

      You know you can prop a camera up and film yourself? My wife does that all the time for her little TikTok dance things.
