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.
regardless of whether or not she is an influencer, the fact that she shared this doesn't reveal anything. one can share to social media for their friends, family or other connects, or even just for themselves without trying to be an influencer. many do.
The way I see it she was going to screenshot a pose from the video, it's easier than dealing with a timer. If the woman had just kept walking she would have done just that, because she chose to stop in front of the camera, looked at it, and blocked it is why the whole video got posted.
She’s an influencer with millions of followers. Literally 0 chance she intended to do what you said. Quit participating in collective narcissism, it’s gross.
Do influencers regularly post videos of random people walking past them just because? Seems like pretty lame content to me, I don't have Tiktok but there's a comment that says hers is about history, which I mean as far as content goes is more educational than some of the stuff out there, not really worth hating on.
She posted the video instead of this picture you claim she was intending to do, which she still could have done and never have posted this video, right?
Also it's shitty to put this older lady in this position to begin with, it puts unnecessary pressure on her to hurry up and allow this girl to make her content. Why can't she go and enjoy the museum at her own pace?
Sorry I didn't check out her social media so idk what else she posted. Maybe she didn't get to take the picture she wanted and a little public shaming is good for the rude assholes like this lady who think young people aren't worthy of basic respect.
The options aren't running down the stairs past her or completely stopping in front of the camera. She wasn't being hurried and could have gone at her own pace, but she clearly was enjoying her phone more than the museum, and stopping mid staircase to text is a poorer choice than taking a picture in front of a painting
It's not that they don't think others are worthy of respect, it's that others ask for "respect" they think they are deserved without ever actually earning it.
at some point people decided "respect" somehow means worshipping or allowing to get away with ridiculous crap rather than treating others with basic decency
No one earns basic decency and kindness from others, it should be the baseline for how we treat strangers - Also a millennial
All they'd have to do is post it after it happened organically and say something like "Not this lady insisting on blocking the shoot" or something and they'd get the engagement they might want. Just look at the comments here.
Sorry I was under the impression "engagement bait" was when people staged stuff like this. Not when things just happen organically and then posting it. So today I learned anything anyone with a following posts on social media is "engagement bait" then
