I mean OH is kinda right in a way at least. If this kind of public shaming keeps people from doing this kind of **** then it's not because they've become better people but because people are now scared of their fellow citizens surveilling them the same as they should be scared of the government spying on them. It might not be as Orwellian as OH is blowing it up to be, but watching these videos seems more like the mentality of watching reality TV than anything noble.
