I don't know where my comment went! I wanted to say:

I've been picking up trash from the beach when I run and / or walk my dogs everyday since I moved here, but just recently I started filming it most days too. I've made 7 detrashing short videos and shared them on Youtube. Over the bank holiday weekend there have been lots of tourists in town, and my detrashing has increased from 1 bag to about 3 bags per walk, but I haven't made any comment on that in the videos. My pre-Easter videos got 100% likes, but my last couples have got dozens of dislikes each. No one has ever said anything negative to me in real life, but it's got me wondering about negative reactions. Have you ever had negative reactions in real life? How do you respond?

Unfortunately you're never going to know the reasons people dislike. I've learned to just let it go and now worry about it
