The concerns exist and are bigger than ever. Ask c/privacy about it. You're referencing the fractional percentage of people who elect to be streamers. Irrelevant to the general population.
A decade ago, one of my local dives, never seen a fight break out there.. dude attacked a woman over them. You don't think people are more poor and angry and traumatized now?

I'd never hit a woman or condone violence like this. And, fuck invasive undercover surveillance cameras. This technology can stay in a fuckin dumpster.
Fwiw, citing c/privacy on Lemmy is very, very much also referencing a fractional percentage of society.
I mean, screw the camera. An affordable, non-intrusive heads-up display on glasses, we're still dying to actually make that a thing. There's a few third party solutions that still kind of do what they were doing but it's nowhere near as good.
Yes, streamers might a bad example I admit but in terms of general population being privacy centric. I doubt most people don't really care until ofcourse it affects them if we do we would have huge backlash with Amazon Echo, Google assistant those stuff won't take off. Baby cameras, IP cameras installed in their very homes those things are a huge privacy concerns yet they are still here. We have TikTok/ Vine which people voluntarily submit videos. Theres Pokemon GO which prompt people to use their cameras to catch Pokemons. Not knowing if those image captured might be stored and analyze. Smartphone themselves we have no idea if that thing is recording us. I think Google glass failed simply because of its market which were rich and fashion centric did not like it. Compared to it's competition who still seem alive today.
