ELI5: Why are celebrities photographed even without consent but "normal people" have to be blurred out?

You actually don't need a release to film people in public places. You have no more rights than an angry Alec Baldwin in public. Producers generally try and get releases for anyone who is somewhat prominent, but that is only because they may want to use the footage in ads at some point, and certain forms of commercialization require a release.

As it stands, anyone wearing a GoPro can film you in public for as long as they like (provided they do not considerably interfere with your movements), then post it all on YouTube, and you have no say in the matter.
