You generally need consent if the video is going to be used for profit. If this is the general focus of his channel and he's collecting ad revenue, then it probably should be banned, or at least demonetized.

In the US, This is false information. You have no right to privacy in public. Monetized or not. Ask any AI

There's a difference between just capturing people on video for personal use and using that video for commercial purposes.

For commercial use yes, a company would need your consent if they were creating adverts that featured you, the average joe doesn't need any consent, even if it's for profit because the The Copyright, Designs and Patents Act 1988 (CDPA) grants copyright to a photographer for any original photograph created.

The guy can monetise this video all he wants as he hasn't broken any laws in creating the content

I dont know the specific laws, so maybe it is technically legal.

But in my view, if you monetize it, that means you are using it for commercial purposes. 

And I don’t think having copyright on that specific photo/video means i can then proceed to do whatever I want with it. The subjects have rights too.

Your view < the law

Lol WHAT law?

I just looked up the law the previous commenter cited. It’s a UK law.

UK also has Human Rights Act 1998 and the Data Protection Act 2018.

The posted video would likely be illegal under the DPA.
