As content creation gains popularity and people start making it big from YouTube/ Facebook monetization, content creators are becoming increasingly desperate and are willing to do any content to gain followers.

Pranking people on the street has become a common order with no consideration of the victim's emotional/psychological state of mind.

While we watch these videos and enjoy the entertainment part of it, some of the people pranked are left emotionally drained, some relationship/ couples trust has broken because they were pranked to check there faithfulness to each other and some people have lost so much useful information from there phone because a popular prankster smatched it on the ground and gives the victim a new one, not considering some important information in the phone that might be lost in the process.

Of course, some of these guys have landed themselves in trouble because they pranked the wrong person but others are yet to learn there lessons.

Entertainment is not bad, as a matter of fact I enjoy watching them alot but when you ridicule or take advantage of the ignorance of others just to create your content, it becomes a problem.



Disclosure of one's privacy to the public in the name of entertainment or prank is very wrong and unacceptable. On the other hand, concerning broken marriages, relationships and friendships I think the victims are responsible for their break-ups because they promote these content creators or pranksters by inviting them to prank their partners knowing fully that the pranksters will post the video to the public to gain followers, likes and for the video to be shared which is the primary target of every prankster. What baffles me a lot is that others do not want to learn from these victims rather they would like to be involved in the same issue and the end they will look for whom to blame. These victims should take responsibility for their actions since they want to learn the hard way.
