All: I made some redactions in this thread after we got a complaint about (possible) doxxing. All of the changes are marked [redacted].<p>More explanation at <a href="https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24895704" rel="nofollow">https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24895704</a>
TL;DW: Andy lives in a rented apartment in Portland that Hulu’s “Shill” series wanted to film in, but couldn’t agree on compensation levels. Landlord (who lives in the building) basically decided he wants this thing done, and started the whole “crazy neighbour” routine: shouting through walls, insulting him, staring through windows, taking down the mailbox, and removing the wifi network. Andy seems to have moved out, and I guess will sue the guy for breaching the lease.<p>The landlord seems like a piece of work. All this to be able to say at parties “hey, my house was used to film that tv series <that nobody remembers anymore>”. I hope somebody throws the book at him.<p>Even sadder, the production crew doesn’t seem to care. I guess you don’t win an Emmy without breaking some dude’s life, or something.
What the ? Sounds like a amateur mob intimidation. Would hope Hulu does the right thing and severely punishes this unacceptable behavior. Who do people think they are, really?
Here's the video that Andrew uploaded to show some evidence of harassment: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BGYUAgXR8Y0" rel="nofollow">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BGYUAgXR8Y0</a>
I don't get it. If the landlord wants the filming to happen so badly, why doesn't he kick in a few grand to compensate his tenant... That's a lot easier than kicking and screaming all night.
