As arduinna pointed out, the level at which people are affected varies immensely based on color/intensity/speed etc, not to mention how the person is feeling on any given day.
Like me, for example: I get severe headaches from blue-spectrum lights, so while there are a wide range of vids I can watch and enjoy I would think twice about watching a vid if it had a warning for strobe lighting.
And if I'm tired already, watching shaky cam makes me nauseous. It depends on what I've been doing that day, physically and socially. If I were already feeling worn out and the vid had a warning for shaky cam I'd probably choose to come back and watch it another day.
As for the label "chooses not to warn" sometimes I'd take the chance and watch anyway, but sometimes I wouldn't. It varies depending on how I'm feeling and whether I think I have the spoons to handle it.
So yeah, I take part in vidding (as an enthusiastic audience) because I love it as a form of expression, even though sometimes I have to be careful.
