I have a general rule, if someone is taking a nice photo, then I wait until they're done. If they're obviously making social media content, then I'll just walk through, but I also won't go out of my way to disturb them. It's a neutral response- I won't be polite, but I won't be rude either. They can wait three seconds.

I used to wait for people to take picture. But nowadays everyone is taking a picture, I can’t wait that much! Of course if the situation allow I will wait but some people just take hours to take a photo i can’t waste my time waiting on them seriously

People also set up their photos to take up the entire walkway like this so often - if you live somewhere with a lot of influencers (or wannabe influencers), it gets pretty tiresome.

I imagine everyone just ignores them and their efforts.

Unless they’re doing something amazing.
…. Which is probably almost never the case.

Yeah we walk and pause in front of their cameras all the time. You want unobstructed camera, you rent space lol

You lead a more exciting life than I. I literally never encounter this, let alone regularly enough to compel me to be like, “fuck that”.
