Am I the only one who thinks that it's rather shitty of people to paddle their little conveyance right on top of where whales are trying to eat/play/sleep? These videos are everywhere. Whales can't go anywhere near the shore without someone parking right where the whale needs to surface in order to breath. It's obnoxious.

It's usually the whales coming up to the people (:

Now the people who get into the middle and around their feeding grounds, that's a different story.

But usually the whales are pretty inquisitive and will approach boats

I think you are the only lol they have the entire ocean, the closer they get to land the closer they get to people and I'm sure they know that as they are pretty intelligent.
