    People record videos in their cars because it is the quietest place that is readily available. Modern cars have good soundproofing, blocking outside noise and also preventing echoes.

    I see your point, but no. The shower is great for thinking, but it’s a terrible recording environment.

    Even if people weren’t afraid of getting their phone wet, the sound would be a disaster. We tune it out in our own heads, but on video, the noise of water running would be overwhelming and inescapable.

    I doubt it. They are hiding in their car because they don’t want their family to find out they are nuts.

      The shower or the car?

      I’m convinced people get on their soapbox in their car because it’s the only place people can film themselves without being self conscious about other people listening to them while they do it.

        I thought it was to create a sense of urgency, like they have somewhere to be but they really can’t wait to spit this truth nugget in your ear

      They already have a phone holder in their car pointed at their face.

      Also, the background in car shots is pretty neutral, while the background in your house might be more revealing or distracting.

        You’ll rarely see a crazy person who isn’t hot because if they aren’t hot you won’t see them participating in society.

            If they’re both ugly and crazy they’ll be pushed as far into the outskirts as possible. When I worked evenings at Walmart I would always see the night shift people come in and they all had some kind of facial deformity and were hard to communicate with. I never see people like that at bars or anything, just working, and only in jobs and shifts nobody else wants.

              Ah yes. I know exactly the type. I’m a night owl and sometimes I end up shopping at a 24/7 grocery store in my city at like 3am and that’s exactly when all the creatures come out, too. On top of that this area is also infamous for meth so 90% of them are tweaking out, too.

      If there isn’t, Pornhub is missing out on a big revenue stream. “Come for the porn, stay because you can’t believe just how insanely wrong this insanely hot person is and you have to explain to them how wrong they are.” Ragebait and porn all-in-one.

    Oh boy, they wouldn’t for a variety of reasons others said, but MAN would my mind and body be in conflict. Like, ok, this is a QAnon rant but they’re hot and ugh, maybe I can just mute? Yeah, mute. Mute and carry on.

    Taboo or not, nudity is still nudity, haha.

    it’s not taboo, it wasn’t in the 90s, it’s algorithms and terms of service dictating cultural norms
