It's a pretty common sentiment I've seen lately even here on HN, for example all of the threads about how amateurish Parler is/was (LOL did you know they're so stupid they didn't know to strip image metadata?), like we told them to go make their own website but then mock them while they learn how to do it. I'm just sick of being mean!

I think there's a bit of a chasm between:
"I'm a newbie web developer and I've never heard of EXIF", and
"It didn't occur to me that I shouldn't have recorded video of myself committing crimes and then posted it on the internet."

Fair point. And regardless, "these people are idiots" doesn't really help us make sense of what happened, or figure out how to stop people from even wanting to do things like this in the future.
