Walking street videos.

I know this might be quite a competitive niche, but I can’t get over the idea that it could be one of the most enjoyable ways to make money. You can travel around the world and earn money by doing almost nothing. I love walking, so why not earn money with the same effort? What would be the best way to monetize your “hobby”? Just walk around and do what you already do, but with the possibility of earning some money with minimal effort.

I don’t want to carry any heavy or recognizable equipment—just a hidden camera to casually capture moments. For example, record your nights at parties; it could be useful if something happens—you get your ass kicked or robbed, and you’d have evidence to prove who did it.

I suppose the simplest way would be to use a hidden camera in a cap. Another option might be glasses, but they are inconvenient and easy to lose, especially if you get wasted at a party. I want to produce authentic content that attracts viewers when they see real-life moments, like experiencing the genuine atmosphere of a restaurant. They wouldn’t even know they were being recorded (which, admittedly, is quite unethical—but YouTube is full of people recorded without their permission, and if someone complains, the video must be deleted. Besides, security cameras record people all the time, and I do exactly the same, so it shouldn’t be a big deal).

I think something like this would be a good product—a cap with a hidden camera:

So, what’s your opinion? Is there still a possibility to make money with this approach? I believe it’s very easy to produce this kind of content. You could just hire an editor and a YouTube specialist to create descriptions, etc. It doesn’t require much effort or investment, and I can start by hanging around my city, then move on to neighboring cities, and so on. And of course, if I get into some trouble—like getting my ass kicked, for example—that could work in my favor. Regular street view videos are quite boring, just walking around the city. But secretly recording will give an authentic perspective of what it’s really like to hang out in a city—just as if the viewer were there.

AAnd oh yeah, you can always save the videos to the cloud in real time, so there's no worry if you lose your cap. It has never happened to me—even when I've been drunk as hell—but if it does, it's not a big loss; you just buy a new one. And if the camera is still on when a robber steals it, that footage would be pure gold. I could even ruin his life by publishing his criminal actions.

Any opinions? Have you tried something like this? All tips are welcome. Thank you very much.

I doubt people would watch hours of content waiting for something to happen
You could record it sure, but it still needs to be edited to becoming interesting

at least makes your walks interesting nobody really wants to watch some boring dude, just ploding along. This is a guy who is doing great on youtube, and he is at the moment in France, lol

His videos are like 2 minute long roughly only.

Now this is someone worth watching, for their daily walk. I would rather watch 2 mins of his comedy, vs watching some chuddie walk the street for an hour. Maybe you will get some people watching that kind of thing, but its not talent proving, and its not going viral.

Interesting but can pose privacy issues if you're filming people without their consent.
