Rober’s stuff tends to rub me the wrong way, and I think it’s a combination of mocking ‘shaming’ as a tactic, the smug moralizing of Rober’s pranks, and the fact that this rich white dude pretty much exclusively targets people poorer and browner than him (and often teams up with cops to do so) - at least in the glitter bombing and phone scammer videos I’ve seen of his.
Given his technical skills, his sense of entitlement, and his tendency for disregarding folks’ privacy, I imagine that if he weren’t as comfortable and privileged as he is, he’d be one of the phone phishers he mocks in his videos. (Or maybe he’d just be working for the cops instead of with them…)
