My video of a left-lane blocker getting buster by an undercover cop has seen a surprising amount of viewership of late, and as such, a large number of comments. Most have been people saying what they know about “keep left” laws and venting their frustrations about the drivers who disobey them. However, a few people are incessantly bitching about how terrible this video is given that I’m too far away from the action to see much for most of the video. Now this would be a valid criticism if it were, say, a staged video. It’s true that I’m quite far back and you can only really see a vague sets of tail lights representing the police cruiser, and a sort of dark blob barely determinant as a separate entity for the Jeep. Yet the way people are phrasing these complaints, it’s as though my entire day should’ve been planned around making this video; like that was my only job. Who in their right mind would think that a person should floor their huge family SUV, with their family inside, to catch up to a police officer conducting traffic enforcement in the hopes that they get a good video of the cop doing something and don’t incidentally get pulled over themselves because hey you just came flying up on a cop from a quarter mile back.

I know this is exactly what is expected from the YouTube comments section, but I still felt the need to post because I’m not sure if people are trolling or are genuinely that stupid. Probably both.

It’s true that up close would be more satisfying:
Obviously speeding up for the best shot wouldn’t be a good idea though.

I’m gonna go with your “probably both” assessment. YouTube commenters are a special kind of moronic.

My videos (except one) are viewable by link only. The internet is not a friendly place.

It’s the expectation that every video they ever watch must be professional quality for some reason. spoiled.
but TBH criticism is popular because it is free and easy. Something we all are guilty of, but some people just don’t know when to quit.

Of course it would be. But the implication that it was my fault and I should’ve done something about it is dumb.

I got similar complaints on my “rally driver plays dirt rally” video. Commenters have been upset that I didn’t interview him afterwards or we didn’t then play the replay.
