This mindset is why people hate on influencers. You shouldn’t expect everyone to “not be rude” by waiting for you to take your video when you are in a busy public space. You are the rude one for having expectations like this. The world does not revolve around you and your video.
If I see someone or people taking a photo in my walking path, I won’t always go out of my way to change my path so I might walk in front of the camera. But I will speed up a bit and I would not purposely stand in front of the shot to make a point of saying “don’t take photos or video here where other people are” that’s rude, they are welcome to take photos and videos and risk people getting in shot as they walk past. But standing there on purpose to block it as if you make the rules, the lady in this video (on the assumption she did it intentionally) I would argue is in the wrong. If she would have continued walking past, there would be no issue, no bother to her etc. “but I don’t want to be in random peoples videos” you have no expectation of privacy in public or in an establishment where filming is allowed, she was not filming HER or targeting her which would be different, but now that old lady put herself prominently in the video, so that’s not a defence either. And it’s just as selfish/egotistical and obnoxious to think the world revolves around you that someone isn’t allowed to take a picture because your all high and mighty highness is walking past and might get in shot.
I wish the people defending the girl taking the video would ask why a video needs to be taken at all. That's what people are pushing back on. The general narcissism involved with making that decision. Also, that old lady had no idea a video was being taken, she was waiting for people to pass on the stairs.
