YouTube Livestreamers Made Money ‘Hunting’ for Migrants Along the US Border

Recently, a disturbing trend has emerged on YouTube where some livestreamers are making money by “hunting” for migrants along the US-Mexico border. These individuals set up cameras along the border and livestream themselves as they search for migrants trying to cross into the United States.

Many of these livestreamers frame their actions as attempting to expose what they see as a crisis at the border, but their methods have drawn criticism from human rights advocates and lawmakers. Some have even been accused of harassing migrants and violating their privacy.

Despite these concerns, these livestreamers have garnered large followings on YouTube and are able to monetize their videos through ad revenue and donations from viewers. This has sparked a debate about the ethics of profiting off the suffering of migrants and the role of social media platforms in regulating harmful content.

As the issue continues to gain attention, it remains to be seen what actions, if any, will be taken to address the exploitation of migrants for profit on YouTube.
