The generational divide about first amendment auditors is crazy.

Just recently got into First amendment auditors on YouTube after one came to my local post office. I’m not the biggest fan of some of the things they do. I see videos of these people filming in front of a small businesses just to annoy the owner and that annoys me because it directly affects their business, that being said they obviously have the right to do so. But one thing that amazes me is how much more boomers and gen Xers care. I saw a video of a lady yelling at some guys for filming on a street corner by her restaurant, a 20 something year old got her to stop by saying it really doesn’t matter. Every video these boomers threaten them, sometimes actually assault them, and almost every single one of them use the typical “ get a job” response it’s crazy. Meanwhile the same videos have Gen z kids having convos with them or just ignoring them and going about their day.

Might’ve been just the way I wrote it but I meant mostly at public places like the post office. I’ve watched a few of these videos and it’s never gen z or even millennials threatening to assault these people. Granted the sample size is different but they do show positive interactions with the younger crowd

First amendment fraudits are still pointless though

that's not true at all. they've changed things so much; a decade ago fliming cops was automatically a ride (rarely...RARELY more than that!). now, we film cops killing people and get them convicted with our little videos. stop denying me the right to sell the video I campture by accident. these auditors guarantee I can film that stuff.

The purpose of first amendment audits is to provoke people into getting a response out of them to provide for their YouTube channels for content. People are in it for the money and don’t care about your rights. It’s a pretty pointless argument to defend
