Episode notes
Get Both Sides Before Judging A Dispute
- Always film both sides and provide balanced coverage when documenting disputes.
- Dylan Redford and Harrison Fishman made it a mandate to get both sides so each subject appears more reasonable when paired with the counterargument.
Don't Fear The Opposing Narrative
- Avoid assuming you're objectively right; hearing the other side often strengthens your own case.
- Dylan Redford says subjects believed voicing the opposite opinion would only make their side look more legitimate, so cast both sides.
YouTube Turns Evidence Into Performance
- Posting collected footage online converts private documentation into performative proof and fuels conspiratorial narratives.
- Harrison Fishman says people upload surveillance meant for court to YouTube and gain followers who validate their story.
