""Get off your high horse, and enjoy the show." "Holding a camera isn't practical for me. ... I move around lots, engage with people in real time, and the glasses let me film without a big intrusive camera," said the college grad, who spoke on condition her identity be kept under wraps. "They help me keep interactions genuine and spontaneous while still creating high-quality content," Elizabeth explained of her special specs."
"She said that after witnessing other foodie influencers such as Keith Lee get mobbed by fans, she made a conscious decision to then try to keep her identity a secret, a decision she's glad to have stuck by as her account gained popularity and she began receiving death threats over a joke she made in poor taste about the Israel-Gaza conflict."
A 22-year-old runs the account Elizabeth Eats NYC and uses $380 Meta recording eyeglasses to film restaurant interactions while preserving anonymity. Critics label the glasses hypocritical and creepy because she conceals her identity yet records servers. She defends the glasses as practical for mobile, real-time engagement and necessary because of a hand tremor that makes hand-held filming difficult. The account began in June, quickly gained millions of followers, and the creator replaced her profile photo with a cartoon to avoid recognition after seeing other influencers mobbed. She has received death threats and says she values privacy and a normal life.
