Eh. Would you rather they sit in the restaurant and annoy everyone with their filming and talking?

Yeah, I feel like it's a lot more normal than filming in a car to be honest

If I see someone filming in a restaurant, I am not going in there. I'm probably not alone. I honestly don't get what this post has to do with cars in the first place.

Is someone sitting accross from a camera and quietly talking to it really much different from someone sitting accross from a person and talking to them?

Most reviews they get into the food and it becomes a lot louder than that. Which is fine, get into your video, but that would be weird in the restaurant.

Also, recording people could make them uncomfortable. One complaint and they could be thrown out mid video and meal.

It just doesn't make sense to do it inside IMO. I don't get what's so bad about them doing it in a car.

Modern mics that clip to a shirt means they can pretty much whisper their review. Doing it inside lets them show how the dining experience is such as the atmosphere of the restaurant, what kind of decorations they have on the walls, how the food looks properly plated instead of crammed into a take out box.

Someone politely and quietly doing a food review doesn't impact your dining experience much compared to anyone else dining at that table.
