In reverse cron order…
2023-03-16 – added a note here about Joan’s idea o Bum Cams: give cams to bums, provide the wifi/lte/5g coverage, let them walk the streets and earn money? P{roblem: this “job” is already being done as a hobby-gig by a smal number of highly interested indiviuals. freaks and nerds, basically.
also, see the airport and chickens and such.
2022-03-01~ – first notes on this.
these “walkers” started ~jan 2022; at least that’s whan i first started to see them.
todo: if you had enough real-time walkers, could you build the globe device in Snow Crash?
“watcher’s club” has a lot of the “walk around a city” walkers.
watching the cameras in ukraine while russia invades is still just fixed cams. wonder if someone will start doing walkers?
This guy’s channel frytvnow is doing the “restreaming”. He is very mch on the honklers side, so bias. he interacts with the various “walkers” by promoting their yt channels. he’ll stream for up to 12 hours a day.
he has 20+ moderators to keep the chat from exploding
he makes money via cashapp, super chats, and the normal yt subs/likes/views/etc.
