To think influencers lack of safety is frustrating

[Collectivethoughts]

I follow an influencer on instagram. She actually lives local to me and seems to be a nice person. However she's moved home and just done a complete home tour and put this on youtube.
She went into every single room and described where the room was. She is going to continue uploading videos around how they are decorating and furnishing the rooms. The house is very grand and lovely so I would imagine the items in the house will also be that.
She is not the only one who has done this. Mrs Hinch has previously and other influencers.
Do they not think about theirs and their children's safety. Do they not think people may try to burgle their homes. They have just given them the blue print to the home. Do they not worry they tell strangers what room their child is sleeping in, that their back garden has no fence. I just don't get it? Is money and views more important than safety?

AIBU for thinking this?

“Influencers” are not one homogeneous group. It’s obviously some turkey teethed gym bro who films himself drinking buzz balls in his dealers front room is very different to Naomi smart or Zoe sugg.
Generally, influencers distort timelines so by the time you’re seeing them on the beach in Greece, they’re back at home.

I think ppl are very misguided if they think SM isn’t used to gleen information for thefts, it is.
Thieves don’t need the exact location to the fancy watches or jewellery, they know where these items tend to be kept.
Crimes is much more sophisticated now.

Influencers just chase the dollar. Best ignored.

And yet burglary rates are going down, the vast majority are still opportunistic, and and the 'premeditated' burglaries still operate on the same basis as always -- basic observation of a person's home, checking routines, security, entry points etc. In short, the majority of burglars aren't studying social media to see whether Dimwit Daisy, having just posted about her Christmas present bling, has taken it to Dubai with her, where she is posting endless selfies in front of the Burj Khalifa.

Their house/life, their choice. You don't have to do the same - they're influencers, not enforcers.

I follow an influencer local to me- about 400k followers on TikTok. Kids online with faces. From the videos she’s put up I’ve found her exact house on google maps. She does travel blogging as part of her lifestyle blog and gives live information about when she’s abroad and the house is clearly empty.

She seems a sensible and intelligent woman but very strange she’s playing with fire this way. If I was a stalker I could easily stalk her (am not a stalker)

Unfortunately, these people don't think. I follow someone on Instagram who bought a property, I think it was in Kent, with his partner. They did exactly the same, showed outside/inside/contents etc...went on holiday and they were burgled. It's not difficult to trace a property, and find out where someone lives.

Fairly sure my 1970s semi has the sad same layout as the entire street wishes I lived in Donwton Abbey

I actually often think are the risks not stalkers and people who might obsess over them. Especially children.
What I see going on a lot is people commenting non publically as well as publically over stuff others share.
eg.. ‘look at that untrue brag post, look at what she looks like, that kid is actually crap at sport’ etc. never nice
why would you expose children that
