What's annoying about it?
It's just a player playing with the phone in front of them. No noise or distraction of any sort. They're only filming the table, the cards, the chips and some hands. And they ask permission before doing it anyway.

I find it fun to watch too. And if you played live poker more often, you'll certainly come across one of them.

Well, if you only play online, you won't have the chance to get asked anything like that any time soon. Just kiddingI only play online but if he ask permission why not

That's another way to look at it, and a good one tooI look at this as helping someone out with their hobby/job. It doesn't affect me at all to help someone out.
. Besides, I don't really see any distraction from a player/vlogger who just plays the game like anyone else with a phone in front of them, not even showing people's faces.They record a certain number of hands where they're involved and do their editing off the table.

I’d actually be totally fine being filmed if it’s the final table of a big tournament. That feels like a special moment and kind of cool to have on video.
But for smaller tournaments or cash games, I’m not really into it. Those feel more private, and I just want to play without cameras around. So yeah, depends on the situation — big moments are fine, everything else not.

There are no cameras around, just a player like everyone else, with a phone in front of them, aiming at the middle of the table.

Yeah, it’s becoming pretty common now, especially at live cash tables.
I’ve sat with a couple of poker vloggers. Personally, I don’t mind as long as it’s handled respectfully — camera fixed on them, no faces or hole cards visible, and the table is informed beforehand. When it’s done professionally, it barely affects the game.
That said, I’ve also seen players refuse, and I completely understand why. Some people value privacy, don’t want their decisions or bankroll discussed online, or just don’t feel comfortable being part of content without consent. Others worry it might change table dynamics or give the vlogger an unintended edge.
Bottom line for me: consent and transparency matter. If everyone at the table is informed and comfortable, it’s fine. If even one player isn’t, the camera should stay off — poker’s already high-variance without adding social pressure.

Totally true. Nothing to add to that.
