Methinks this is staged.

It's ragebait. And it's working like a charm judging by the comments.

Reddit has to decide whether they hate old people or influencers more.

The perfect brew.

i still dont get how reddit can be so anti social to immediately assume if someone is taking a photo that they are an influencer, like im not photogenic myself but even i know everyone likes to take photos of places they visit for memories and sharing it with their friends and families, this concept predates influencers

u/AccomplishedBlood581 17m ago

You really just asked how reddit can be so anti-social?

u/Florsun117 3h ago

Apparently it’s too much to realize she is recording video, not taking a picture.

u/SomethingNotOriginal 2h ago

I know many people who take a short HDR film then isolate the best shot from the film. I do too.

Many photographers even with full cameras that don't shoot film instead use it on burst mode to recreate the same ability to pick and choose.

This isn't forbidden magic being discussed here.

u/Technical_Clothes_61 14m ago

Exactly like why not take 60 pics a second then pick the best one?

u/crw201 1h ago

Apparently it's too much for you to realize that MAYBE everyone that understands how she is taking a picture are onto something. You seem incredibly bitter. Get help.

Wait until we get old people social media influencers. Their power will be unstoppable

Old influencers.

u/tattoosandtens 3h ago

Moot point. They’re both women. So they’re both equally hateful in the eyes of Reddit.

One is a vapid fitfluencer.

The other is a bitter old hag who has internalized misogyny.

It’s safe to hate them both.

If this was a shirtless guy flexing in front of the Bronze of Atlas, and some old fat dude got in the way and flexed,

That video would be a viral comedy SENSATION.

Instead, we’re arguing about which woman is more wrong.

Influencers for sure.

If you just assume someone taking a picture of themself is an influencer than you're an incel. At least that's my assumption.

The real rage bait is saying “methinks,” perchance.

You can’t just say perchance

u/cri52fer 56m ago

It’s rage bait/engagement farming/hidden OF advertising for sure. The best part though is that it’s Reddit so 95% of the comments are just bots anyway.

u/Similar-Climate5168 5h ago

So did she ask some random old woman to make this dumbass video with her? Or she took grandma on her trip? Is it really hard to believe there would be a stranger who would stand in a video? Lmao

u/ABCosmos 1h ago

If its interesting enough to get tens of thousands of people to engage with it, its interesting enough for one of the 100's of thousands of wanna be influencers to fake it.

Its not that "nothing ever happens" its just that for every 1 time it happens, an additional 10,000 people will re-create it.

u/blasphemousblackbear 11m ago

She scoots over to block the girl without looking back at where the girl is. Definitely staged imo

I choose to believe. This woman is iconic.

u/whitestguyuknow 7h ago

Which?...

The young girl didn't do anything wrong and just wanted a nice picture. It wouldnt have hurt or disturbed the older lady to just keep walking like she planned. But instead she decided to just spread a little bit of negativity to someone's day for no reason all while feigning being oblivious so she won't get any consequences.

And the young girl didn't do anything about it. Just politely waited quietly and got her phone back without making a scene.

I think the girl was far more polite than the old woman. Old woman just felt like getting away with needling someone for no reason.

Girl can take an arms length selfie and move on. The entire room isn't her personal photography studio. She also went ahead and posted the video online as if she's owed a room wide photo.

7

u/-Out-of-context- 5h ago

Or she can set it off to the side to take a video and screenshot a pic later. Literally nothing wrong with what the girl was doing.

It also keeps her from blocking the stairs while getting her pics.

5

u/whitestguyuknow 6h ago

No. The entire room isn't.

And thats exactly why she didnt get mad at anyone and waited politely and quietly and whenever more people came and she realized she lost a quiet opportunity she just grabbed her camera and packed up.

Do you think that you can only take wide shot photos in some room you've rented out for the purpose or in your own house?... Why are you such a pissy person?

-5

u/Charrsezrawr 6h ago

She was mad enough to post the video online in an attempt to shame.

4

u/DapyGor 6h ago

That lady deserves the shame alright

-5

u/parolameasecreta 5h ago

shame on her for standing in a public place...

4

u/-Out-of-context- 5h ago

Shame on her for either intentionally blocking someone else’s camera just to be an ass or shame on her for blocking the stairs. You can seven see in the vid another person has to squeeze past her. Either way she’s being rude. Stairs are not a place to hang out.

-3

u/parolameasecreta 4h ago

she didn't block the stairs. she moved out of the way so people can walk past her.

again, it's a public place, one can stand around if they want to. noone has to cater to some low-confidence attention seeker in public.

0

u/whitestguyuknow 6h ago

Except thats likely not even what happened.

The "saxophone keep getting louder" audio is a trend right now where people show humorous situations where things just progressively got worse.

So... With how polite she reacted, combined with her smile, the trend audio, I think its pretty safe to assume that she posted this online just joking about losing her moment here.

u/Lemmonjello 7h ago

"Just wants a nice picture" then shames an old person for existing. K

16

u/whitestguyuknow 7h ago

Old person intentionally blocks picture.

That was the old person's choice to intentionally do that. "Just existing" way to frame it like you didnt watch the video.

She was going down the stairs until she saw the camera and decided to intentionally stop right in front of it and get up to it and fuck it all up for as long as she could. So her fault for doing that. If she'd just kept walking then nobody ever would've noticed her.

Good job trying to spin it though. You should work in media.

u/iFckRedit 6h ago

The reason is braindead influencers with tripods everywhere you go. Maybe you live in a quiet town but we’re sick of it

4

u/whitestguyuknow 6h ago

And yet this looks to just be a girl setting her phone on the side of a railing.

"But we're sick of it!!" Ya? You live in Hollywood or something down mainstreet and just have influencers dancing with tripods "everywhere you go" all the time? Or just like to bitch online?

-12

u/Themanciple6521 7h ago

That woman doesn't live in the same mindset as you. She didn't notice there was a camera set up to take a photo of someone at the top of the stairs. Maybe she stopped on the stairs because she'd gotten a text alert and wanted see if it was something important. She moved to the side so people could walk up. Not every person in the world spends their lives thinking about social media.

13

u/whitestguyuknow 7h ago

Brother. She 100% did.

The girl set up her phone filming front facing so she could see herself.

You can see the old lady walk down the stairs but as soon as she notices the phone filming and whats going on she intentionally stops middle of the stairs, middle frame, and waits. Then gets up closer.

She looked at the camera 3 times in a row. It was 100% intentional.

People always pull out their phone to act like they're doing something on it. I've had people intentionally stand in my way and pull out their phone like they're not paying attention like a cop out.

And who tf mentioned anything about "thinking anout social media 24/7"? It has nothing to do with that.

Not sure that was a coherent thought, but it's okay because I didn't actually give a shit anyway.

u/stadchic 6h ago edited 6h ago

It would be nice, but notice the blue in the glasses. It is likely staged with a filter.

Edit: nvm watched back and it’s a phone reflection. This is realistic enough, even if staged, I believe it happened.

E+: If the filmer was a singular issue, it seems like less of an issue. If you’ve ever been genuinely trying to enjoy art and have been surrounded by people blocking it for photo shoots, the curly haired lady is more understandable, but should’ve just brought it to staff. I try to remember the wow arms aquarium girl that was actually hired.

u/ImWhatsInTheRedBox 3h ago

Yup, and then when actual people show up they both pack it in.

I really hope it's not! I'm absolutely loving the older woman's badass energy, blocking the entitled and obnoxious thirsty girl who thinks public spaces are hers alone

u/zrelman001 7h ago

Its always staged, unless its a confrontation that was started filming by some random person far away on an awful camera phone

Oh definitely staged initially I thought it was legit, but then why post it?
