Isn't it crazy that we live in an era where posting yourself online counts as a career? You can make millions of dollars by making maintaining a shocked expression as you stare at an imaginary audience through a camera and overexaggerate the pronunciation of every word you say. Hey, bonus if you learn a trending dance that includes exactly 3 moves with a voiceover of a baby screeching. Times have changed, y'all…

This college student took to the r/AITA subreddit, asking Redditors for their take on a frustrating situation he had handled with his sister. She was an influencer and would film weekly cooking videos at her parent's home, where he was staying as he studied, for her TikTok and Youtube. He requested multiple times that she not include him in the videos, to no avail. So he came up with a plan, which included saying a bunch of controversial things that she would later upload. It resulted in the suspension of her account, and he wondered if he had taken it too far… Was this revenge too wild? You be the judge of that.

Commenters were quick to point out that given the lack of consideration on her part, she had it coming. Scroll down to read the full story. For more, check out this funny story where spam callers were scammed into donating money to charity.

    Font - AITA for acting crazy and spouting conspiracy theories to get my sister to stop including me in her videos. My parents just told her "we told you so" but I got into an argument with her on the phone. I fully believe she is in the wrong for filming me, but I learned that this might completely destroy what she's been building for 2 years now. Despite the filming me issue, I actually am now wondering if ruining her chance at this being her career

    Font - Posted by u/Unlikely_Elk9914 17 hours ago AITA for acting crazy and spouting conspiracy theories to get my sister to stop including me in her videos. My (19 M) sister (21 F) is a "social media chef" on tiktok and youtube. I still live with my parents while going to college, while sis lives with some friends about a 10-minute drive away. Even though she does not live here, she comes over 2- 3 times a week to film for hours in my parent's kitchen. She will make lunch and dinner for my paren

    Font - I've asked my sister multiple times to please edit me out of her videos, or not film me at all. She's told me multiple times she would stop but still includes me in her videos and goes out of her way to still try and film me. my parents have also told her to stop, but they don't see any harm in what she's doing so they have taken a passive role in this.

    Font - A few months ago, a graphic designer friend of mine offered to make me some "not safe for youtube" shirt designs for me to order from her and I did. It gave me the idea to start acting a bit unhinged and inappropriate for the platform she's trying to make. Nothing of this is inappropriate, mind you. I'm not trying to offend. Most of what I'm doing is conspiracy theory sl sting. My parents even find it entertaining and my father has joined in as well as he also is a bit tired of being film

    Font - Apparently earlier this week, I got my sister's accounts suspended. One of the shirts I got made has a picture of T i with the word "Hero" under it, and when she was streaming Monday she turned the camera on me to ask me a question. I told her to stop and she continued. While wearing the shirt I said "Pay attention, people. C the truth of was created to hide "My sister got mad and shooed me away (despite coming to me and trying to

She also got multiple videos of me wearing that same shirt flagged, putting her youtube account in jeopardy and preventing her from uploading to it for 14 days.

    Font - buzz_buzzing_buzzed 17 hr. ago Aficionado [14] A NTA. But once those videos are out there of you saying those things, the internet doesn't forget. When if they were removed, the videos are out there somewhere, and may return to haunt you. You want to be edited out? Sl talk her cooking/kitchen skills. Don't rant and rave, just lie about how awful the food is. When she confronts you, explain to her that the food is great but you don't want to be filmed, and if that's what it takes... 2.4k R

    Font - Mayalestrange. 17 hr. ago Aficionado [15] A NTA, but keep in mind that anyone could save screenshots of you in those t-shirts and make trouble for you in the future. I think it's hilarious that your sister is now dealing with the consequences of her own inability to respect other people wanting privacy while at home, but am concerned about the potential consequences for you down the line if those images get into the hands of someone who wants to hurt you. Depending on how spiteful your si

    Font - etcetera-cat 15 hr. ago Compile a Disney playlist and have it ready to go anytime she turns the camera on you. She either has to stop the livestreamibg and only do pre-recorded content by completely cutting the recorded sound and rerecording whatever she's saying as voiceover (adding a lot of work for her in post production and dropping the quality of her videos) or the mouse-shaped legal trouble will come for her.

    Font - Me ivyidlewild 17 hr. ago NTA, she did this to herself. No one should be filmed/posted without their consent. She's been told multiple times that you do not consent, and disregarded that thoroughly. Reply Share 358 Relic6 3 15 hr. ago NTA - If she has been building her YouTube career for the past two years she should know to respect her potential subjects. Filming in the privacy of your own home is much different than filming in public where privacy expectations are different. 60 Reply Sh

    Font - Partassipant [2] NTA. She was warned. She is still the one who chose to film, and did not edit, and aired the content. Reply Share 277 17 hr. ago 16 hr. ago Partassipant [3] 139 That's what makes it extra NTA. She could have edited OP out, but she chose to post the video with OPs intentional red flags in it, rather than do as requested and take him out of her videos. Reply Share

Something to make your sister stop filming could get passed around and ruin your future. All it takes is a screen grab. Reply Share 165 Classic_Season4033 17 hr. ago Partassipant [1] That's why i said he should just keep saying 'I do not consent to be filmed but my sister doesn't take no for an answer.'

    Font - Quellecrist 17 hr. ago Partassipant [1] NTA This is genius. Although I worry this may backfire: • Sister pivots from "homey lifestyle guru" content to "shock value" content because all she cares about is the likes and views. You should keep up the good work being inappropriate, yet be more boring. May I suggest you play copyrighted music when she is filming. DMCA takedowns are your friend. Have fun! • These videos may resurface (sans context) if you ever run for public office. But hey, th

    Font - zwergschnauzer . 17 hr. ago Craptain [187] NTA. The big ole here is your sister. It is unethical (and, depending where you are, illegal) to record people without their permission. Yet she persists in attempting to record you without your permission. While there are better, less passive aggressive ways to stop her, your method was rather humorous. Besides, if she hadn't been recording you she wouldn't have had her account suspended. So it is 100% her fault. Reply Share 86
