My latest triggering video
LOL so it was foggy for a few days last week, like really low fog only a few hundred feet thick on the ground, and then it was a beautiful sunny day up top. So I took my drone up to check it out, get some footage, and land about 4 minutes later.
I knew it would cause a stir among the drone nerds, as they would think I'm 2000 feet up in the clouds beyond my line of sight, in danger of an airplane flying beneath me and popping out of the clouds right into the drone.
But the truth is I'm just a few hundred feed up in my neighborhood, and airplanes don't fly 200 feet above ground especially through fog in a neighborhood. Knowing this, I shared this video with as many drone groups as I could and sat back to watch the triggering
This is one of those videos where I should have hid the #MAGA text in white somewhere, I didn't think of it in time though
Even in this thumbnail preview, you can see the neighborhood streets through the lighter sections of fog.

Let's see some of those triggered comments.
It's only "science" if it supports the narrative.

I was reading some of the responses. Not knowing the people or their personalities, I couldn’t tell if their responses were sarcastic outrage, like mine , or if they were serious.

VLOS means Visual Line Of Sight, some were accusing me of not watching where my drone was, out of my line of sight.
Some of them didn't like my joke:

HAHAHA! This is hilarious.
Why do I get so happy at other people's irrational anger? What's the matter with me?It's only "science" if it supports the narrative.

It's the same ol' bullshit, people just waiting for a reason to complain.
Believe it or not, with my fall colors video that went viral, somebody accused me of making tourists waste their money flying into Utah, to see the fall colors in November when they were all gone.

You guys wanna hear something funny? The FAA actually contacted me about this video. I was reported for "dangerous" flying. Turns out, they actually helped me straighten out my Part 107 permit and extend it another 2 years. The person that reported me did so in "poor judgement", verbatim from the FAA inspector, and I was also complimented on some "amazing footage" on my channel. Yes, those are direct quotes.
I did learn a few things though, as so did the agent. It was a good opportunity for education, very constructive. A lot of things are always changing with federal drone laws so I got some great resources now.
Some folks in the drone groups said I need to have 3 miles of visibility, which was the only thing they could think of about my video to nab me. But speaking with 2 FAA agents today, the only things they advised me on is to not fly directly over people, which had nothing to do with this video. It's a great point though, I've been lucky with people.
So instead of getting reported for a fine and/or restriction, my commercial drone permit was renewed and corrected, as the testing center had screwed up on the paperwork last year. Fortunately I still had the print out from my exam, the test number, and my test results, because the testing center didn't even keep my results.
Thanks to the toolbag who reported me (I even know who it was on the drone group but I'm not gonna call him out, he's already a douche by looking at his posts), unfortunately for him, it was a nice benefit to me.

Don't be a pussy.... I'd throw the douche under the bus... the trick is to do it on the drone group and make him look like a complete ass without actually using the word ass...
Something like you posted above giving thanks to the douche for helping get your permit straigthened out and mentioning the FAA praised your footage and flying expertise.... kick the douche in the nuts hard now or deal with him for the next 10 years.
