The funniest one of his I saw was when he fancied going to Texas for steak...Flew MAN-IAH on Singapore Airlines and went to a...Longhorn Steakhouse before flying back to the UK.

I remember a few years ago there was an experiment where they took copywritten soundtracks, somehow change the frequency to the point where they couldn't be heard by humans (at least normal humans) and then fired off DCMA takedown notices to help with the privacy of certain celebrities. I wonder if that would work here... "Your video is the subject of a DCMA notice..." "But there's nothing there" "It's triggering a copywrite notification"... I can see it happening out in public, but I think the white noise coming from the flight would nix that issue...

On a KLM flight last month. One of those boarded while filming. His camera was filing the cabin and I had no desire to be on his video. I asked him if he had the crew's permission to film in the cabin. Asked him to look for the KLM announcement about privacy (they do that on every flight). It is getting ridiculous how these people forget that their right to swing their umbrella ends where the other person's nose begins.

There was a PoC several years ago that did something like that. People would be fitted with a speaker that would play songs at a tone higher than most humans could here. The concept was that YT would catch it with the content management system while the vlogger would not know until it got flagged. I'm not sure if it ever went into production, but I would love to have that set up.

Can't stand Josh Cahil and Nonstop Dan. Same goes for Jayden Wong.
There are a few others I find aren't too bad, but these are the ones that come to mind immediately.

It could be worse…
At least they’re not using mini drones to film themselves on the flight. You know, viewing themselves from overhead followed by a sweeping flight through the cabin.
Now that I think about it, maybe on my next flight I will start the “Flight on a Flight” TikTok challenge. Maybe it will be the rage that everyone tries to do.
I know what you’re thinking, so I will just say, “You’re welcome”

Fly to Texas for a steak and go to... Longhorn? Had to be a paid gig.
Luckily, I haven't encountered a vlogger in the air. I can handle an "influencer" taking some photos, but vlogging with lights and loud commentary is beyond the pale.
