Title says it. I feel like an idiot. A couple newscasts were all I could find on youtube, general search not very helpful, and I don’t use tiktok or instagram. (Maybe that’s my problem?)
Where are the independent livestreamers?

Yeah I saw some streamers get in to trouble with some specific groups of protestors for that reason, but didn’t see it very often on the streams I was watching. I also listened to some interviews with Portland protestors on the Uprising podcast who felt that was a bit excessive, so didn’t think it was particularly widespread.
During that whole event, I was up watching every stream that was available until they cut and went home. I was following all of their twitters and monitoring twitter in general.
I can tell you that what I said is accurate with certainty. There were streamers that would end when the “night shift” took over protesting because it was “too dangerous to stream”, when a week prior they were welcome. The ones that lasted the longest were filming their face or the ground and eventually they gave up because they were getting confronted or worse.
Their presence was said to “endanger” protesters because the police were watching along with everybody else. The police would roll up out of nowhere and start grabbing up people around the streamers, because they used the streams to pinpoint locations.
It wasn’t my intent to argue with your experience, it just wasn’t the impression I came away with.
