"Are you afraid someone is going to kill you or something?"
No. I just know someone is going to make a false accusation against me one day (like they did with my second brother) I piss to many people off not too due to me being to standoffish & non compromising.
"I dated a girl who did that (minus videoing everywhere she went) but the real reason was to blackmail people as it turned out."
Most of the videos are to show when & where I was at any given time (people aren't even in a lot of them), that way if someone says I did something on 'so and so date' at 'so and so place' I can prove it was a lie.
That will work as long as you can somehow convince the people of the dates and times of the videos. It's not that difficult at all to edit metadata or even superimpose a visual date and time on a video file.
The effort required to do that is minuscule compared to recording your entire life just in case you're questioned. Someone seeing your video might ask themselves how many know how to edit metadata versus how many record their entire lives just in case. They might decide the video is statistically more likely to be a fabrication or even that in a sense the application of Occam's razor calls for it.
I suspect that in most cases having a video couldn't do more harm than good, but it's ultimately dependent on the person you're trying to convince. For example, when murder investigators have only two suspects and ask them something like "where were you on the 9th of September in 2019" it's usually the person who more readily and easily offers data supportive of their innocence.
The guilty person will say, "I spent the night night-fishing. The sky was amazingly clear considering it had rained earlier. I caught very little but the appearance of the moon made it all worth it. It was in the waxing gibbous phase which I've always found more beautiful than a full moon. Here, read my diary entry all about it. Also, here is a receipt of the extra fishing supplies I bought just earlier that day."
The innocent one will say, "Fuck. I have no idea. That was almost two years ago. I might can guess better if you tell me what day of the week it was."
That's the normal response. Again, I suspect doing what you're doing will help you more often than not. That said, others might see it as a premeditated, fabricated alibi due to the seeming absurdity and outlandish behavior of videoing one's entire life. For some, the odds of fabrication will always seem more likely than the accused just happening to have sufficient paranoia of being accused ahead of time so as to record things for no other reason than clearing their name.
"That will work as long as you can somehow convince the people of the dates and times of the videos. It's not that difficult at all to edit metadata or even superimpose a visual date and time on a video file."
I video the dates on multiple different devices (phone/PC/TV/electric clock & not just my own) to show what date it is outside of the video file.

For some, the odds of fabrication will always seem more likely than the accused just happening to have sufficient paranoia of being accused ahead of time so as to record things for no other reason than clearing their name."
Luckily I've never care about my social presence or how i'm perceived by others, my happiness & wellbeing is all that matter to me and as long as I didn't do a crime I have very little (if anything) to worry about do to overwhelming contradicting evidence to said crime being on my side.
What can you do when people believe something completely false about you?
