British YouTuber Harry, creator of the channel We Hate The Cold, has unexpectedly gone viral after capturing intense scenes of protests in Nepal. His footage, now viewed over 3.8 million times, offers rare ground-level perspectives from Kathmandu as demonstrations spiraled into chaos. The video shows flames engulfing multiple structures, vehicles set on fire, protesters causing destruction, and more. Online, many began calling Harry ”the accidental reporter” for his on-the-ground coverage. Usually known for travel content, Harry stressed that he had no intention of covering political events. “I just happened to be there with my camera,” he explained, adding that Nepal’s sudden curfew left him caught in the middle of the unrest. Posting the video to YouTube, he wrote: “I cannot believe what I saw today. Gen Z protests in Nepal and how they unfolded from my lense. The full journey back from Thailand to the UK on 2 wheels continues soon once I am able to get out of curfew here and fly the bike. It seems it might be a while until that happens. Love you all.” Note: Times now could not independently verify the authenticity of the video. The clip quickly spread across social media. Still, Harry’s raw footage earned him widespread praise as an unintentional conflict journalist, with viewers lauding his coverage of a pivotal moment that forced Nepal’s government into retreat. One user remarked, “Bro became media live capturing every thing. Better than any media channel I watched.” Another wrote, “what a time to be alive where you can watch youtubers live stream what its like living through literal historical events. i wish youtube existed during the french revolution or fall of rome.” One more wrote, ”He became the accidental reporter.” A third added, “This was an amazing video – I’m glad you’re safe, and happy you got to see this for yourself. What an experience!” while another quipped, “Bro experienced the ‘Revolution tourism’ in Nepal.” Praising his approach, one comment read: “Incredible journalism my dude. These videos are so much better than anything the news does. It’s so much more organic, and you’re acting as if you are one of the citizens… putting yourself right in the action and not forcing anything. Stay safe brother!”
