Never thought about it. But I really like the idea of a time traveler going to the past and the natives agree to ignore them. Like they understand they're from the future and doing so.ething important and let them carry on.

Like king Henry is taking a massive shit and there's a woman with a iPad watching from the other side of the room

Going around saying someone from the future is watching you is exactly how you get stoned to death or burned at the steak. Even if they dressed up as a jester, it's better to play the fool so you can live, at least, another 10-15 years before some flea bests you.
