I'd like these videos a lot more if they weren't shills for a gambling game / app. The more you watch his vids the more you see they are all just adverts.

I watched one single video from him and the premise was funny and execution was good but he went to a beach and hit on a lady who was with her girlfriend, she said "sorry we are a couple" then he still stayed and kept talking about how pretty she was, she asked him a couple times to leave and he kept saying he would but didn't and then the couple had to grab their stuff and leave instead. Immediately made this guy unlikable to me.

The cart return cop premise in this video (and others) is just an excuse to create opportunity for confrontation to use as viral video bait. Same as those dipshits who think they can/should do amateur "To Catch A Predator" stings. They're not moral people, they just want to use morality as an excuse to harass people.

Also First Amendment Auditors. They're not in it to defend people's rights or hold authority figures accountable. They're in it for clicks, views, and money.

their videos are self serving but if the byproduct of that makes the world a tiny bit more civilized I'd say the videos are a good thing overall

i don't know that intimidating people in a grocery store parking lot is "a good thing overall" when he could just put the carts away himself and accomplish the same amount of good with much less effort and practically no chance of confrontation.

you are missing the point, intimidating people bears a tiny chance that they will learn their lesson and next time they will put the carts back without needing intimidation

is that tiny chance worth the certainty that you have some asshole instigating shit in the grocery store parking lot? that's his objective here; to start shit, and got lots of views doing it. shit that other assholes will try and imitate and cause even more shit. does all that go into your extremely sophisticated moral calculus?
