RE: What Impact Will The Coronavirus Pandemic Have On Online “Predator” Hunters?
Good to see you writing man missed reading articles from you. How are you holding up with all this virus stuff? staying safe? Please, please do be careful! this thing is highly contagious and so easy to spread we wont be fully out of the clear till a cure is found I think.
Anyway great article as always I read your other ones too you posted recently heh I have been keeping up. you are like me on this when it comes to these vigilanties doing this in that have mixed feelings on it.
It was nice to hear from you again, naglfar94. Yeah, this coronavirus pandemic turned out to be a lot worse than most of us anticipated. According to what I've heard on the Internet, the safest place in the world to be right now is New Zealand. The United States of America needs to follow their example. I haven't encountered any health problems from the COVID-19 personally. However, the idea that a lot of people are dying from it is scary.
After watching so many YouTube videos showing online sting operations, it angers me that these vigilantes have actually preached to the alleged suspects that they need to stay home and observe the quarantines in their states when they themselves are not even practicing what they preach. Like, why aren't these vigilantes doing the same thing? Do they think they're immune to the COVID-19? It's absolute lunacy on their part. And there are all these self-proclaimed child advocates and self-appointed pedo-experts who are giving generous donations to their Patreon accounts and other Internet accounts as though they're bottomless pits of money. Don't these people have budgets to go by in light of all the problems the coronavirus pandemic has been causing the economy? I mean, I realize that it is their money and they are free to do with it as they please. However, these people can't just go on living their lives the way they did before the pandemic struck and expect not to encounter problems from it.
Now, I suspect that some of these online vigilantes are staging these sting operations and hiring actors to pretend to be suspects. That 76-year-old man that the Predator Poachers filmed in the above YouTube video was probably some actor they hired from a local talent casting agency for a scripted online sting operation so that they could drum up more money from donations they receive from YouTubers who are stupid enough to give them their hard-earned cash. As I indicated in my previous article about Chris Hansen and YouTuber Onision, I agree with some of the YouTubers who have been posting opinions in the comments section of these YouTube videos in which they've complained that many of these vigilantes are merely looking to get their faces on camera and make money off of their activities from YouTube views and individual contributions and that they're not the least bit concerned about the public safety in any shape, way or form. If they keep doing what they're doing, one of these online vigilantes will likely end up dying from the COVID-19 before the pandemic is over. It's like you said, we won't be fully out of the woods until a cure for it is found. The problem here is that there doesn't seem to be a way to get that piece of wisdom through the thick heads of these online vigilantes.
I haven't really planned on posting any more Steemit articles about these online vigilantes, because I'd prefer to write Steemit articles about how Fraidy Reiss, Jeanne Smoot and others like them are harming our nation in their obsessive war against teenage marriage. People like Fraidy Reiss, Jeanne Smoot and their allies are harming many more innocent people than online vigilantes are, because most of the people whom these new marriage laws are harming are actually decent and honorable individuals; and it has me deeply perturbed that any legislators are even entertaining these changes in our marriage laws. However, do stay tuned to my Steemit channel, because I am not ruling out the possibility of posting another Steemit article regarding online sting operations. It is just not something that is on my list of priorities like the Steemit articles I plan to write regarding the threat that these new marriage laws have been posing to our nation. Do stay tuned to my Steemit channel anyway. Anyhow, take care and stay safe.
