I once posted a timelapse video of my commute on facebook and people were calling me out for not blurring license plates. This guy just walks around all day live streaming the life of random people ? How is that not a clear violation of privacy rules ? Disclaimer: Am European.

IANAL but in the US, you have no (legal) expectation of privacy when you're in a public place / visible from a public place.
Not sure about license plates, but when Awkwards Travels (much smaller channel, a couple live streaming traveling, mostly SEA) were here in Germany, they had to be way more careful about what they showed.
