The one thing I hate about this: There are so-called "first amendment auditors", who professionally annoy people on the street, trying to provoke a reaction. They monetize the resulting video on youtube.

You used to be able to pull out your phone and play Disney soundtracks or Taylor Swift music which would result in the video being non-monetizable. But improvements in audio isolation techniques have now defeated this countermeasure. Being a professional annoyance is once again a career choice.

Edit: this is one instance I've personally seen: https://www.instagram.com/p/C7IEFxQSJQw/?hl=en&img_index=1
