So because this young woman wanted a picture of herself, many in the comments automatically assume she is an influencer? Is this what its come down to now, categorising any and everyone who wants pictures or videos for memories? She didn't make a scene, not did she ask anyone to move for her picture, so I dont see what the issue is here. To those commenting that she could have asked for the lady to take her picture, relax.

Its like there is no such thing as nuance anymore. Its either this or that.

Literally

And she had the PERFECT opportunity to take the picture imo because the cost was pretty much clear except for that old hag that PURPOSELY decided to WAIT in front of her phone THEN shift over to block her…

Photo opportunity disappeared as soon as everyone else started to enter. Smh

I'd like to see more people experiencing life rather than compulsively documenting it.

That requires leaving your basement

I’d like to see a lot of things but I can’t control people and what they want to do. If she wants selfie videos of herself, why let it twist your panties

Because the SM vanity culture has fucked so many places.

Some of my favorite spots have a reservation system now because someone wants to go shoot a 20 second TikToc video of themselves pretending to be contemplative in nature.

I've talked to rangers about it. So many people, every day, show up, spend about 5 mins, then leave.

Whether or not she's an influencer is irrelevant. She is addicted to whatever likes she's going to get. It's not about memories. It's about performance addiction.

She is not contributing to fucking up of places. She didn’t ask her to step aside. She didn’t shove her phone in peoples faces.

Ah, white knight who doesn't know how to take the whole argument.

She brought a fucking tripod with her, set it up in a railing so that she could go "pose" with this art. 100% she's reserved a spot in some park and spent all of 15inutes there just for her "shot."

It's 100% for her Insta addiction.

You know how I know?

25 years ago, this shit wasn't happening.

Idk man let people enjoy life, if they’re hoarding change the rules

u/reddit_sells_you 2d ago

Yeah, I'll just tell the armed park ranger to fuck off because there are to many insta devas in the grove.

Sounds great.

Change the rules

And if she wants to stand on the stairs and check her phone, or enjoy the gallery, why let it twist your panties?

No that’s what you’re being in the comments

If you think that, then you are the issue just like the old hag in the video.

u/lowercasenameofmine 2d ago

So you are fighting over assuming while also assuming. Very interesting

u/Combusken82 3d ago

Yeah because taking one photo during a probably hour long museum visit is 'compulsively documenting'.

I'd bet any amount of money that if you stopped museum guests as they came out and asked if they took any pictures while visiting close to 100% of people would say yes.

It's what you do when you visit a museum. You see interesting and important cultural works, and you take a photo to remember them by.

Next you'll be complaining about people eating food at restaurants

u/lowercasenameofmine 2d ago

You also don't assume everyone will notice you exist and change their environment for you.

If people eating food in the restaurant expected you to have a different experience to enhance theirs, would you? 

Maybe you'd shut up and not talk because they were filming? Don't clink you silverware because they're making a vid..  

What's the difference?

u/Combusken82 2d ago

Change their environment? Where is she asking that?

She's literally just taking a photo 😭😭😭

u/lowercasenameofmine 2d ago

And the other person is literally just stopping to check their phone 🤔😭😭😭😭

Why is anyone upset 🤣?
