When those vids were first made I thought it wasn't very good at making a point because, a guy walking up to you with a camera and just sitting there with it is obviously quite creepy. But why is it creepy?...because I don't know what he'll do with that video and it just establishes a weird dynamic to the situation. But then why am I okay with a camera in the ceiling? I suppose the alternative would be actual eyes, say if a convenience store had the budget for that, an equivalent to their ceiling-cams would be a security guys watching you and everyone else as they shop.
