"And here we see the influencer in their natural habitat. Oh no, it looks like another of the local fauna have encroached on their perceived territory and is getting agitated, fascinating."
I don't see her doing a stupid dance, or pranking anyone, or trying to look slutty, or singing in public, or anything remotely disruptive to the people around her. She's just trying to get a shot, or a clip of herself. It even appears that she's waiting for the room to be empty, which it was about to be until that old bitch stopped in the middle of the staircase.
Fuck influencers, but I mean, come on. Context matters. It's a young woman alone at some kind of art museum. Nothing hip about it. She's just doing her thing. Leave her tf alone.
Yeah man. Sometimes I can only visit places on my own time, and but then I don't have any pictures of myself. I'm not a "selfie" guy and if I posed a nice picture and wasn't being dosruptive, what's the harm? This lady obviously noticed and decided to be in the way.
If we're honest, we (as in literally everyone) just hate young women, always have. Any hobby, movie, series, singer, whatever they like, all cringe. Twilight? Sucks. Swift? Overrated. Make-Up? Literally the devil. Dancing? Not in my field of view.
She looked right at the phone so it's clear she is aware of it. If she thought it was forgotten there, she'd have turned around and said "Miss... Is this your phone?", and if she received a no, she'd have brought the phone to a lost and found. Or at least that's what a decent person would do. There's also the look of sour contempt on her face. She stops in a high traffic area, and doesn't appear be looking at art the whole time she's standing there.
It is extremely obvious what she is doing from a body language standpoint, and a cultural one. People can't stand influencers, so in her mind she thinks she's performing a public service because she sees a young women setting up for a selfy or a clip or whatever and assumes she's a teeny bopper influencer.
Like, come on. She's got bitch written all over her. If you can't see that, I'm concerned for your safety in a world filled with bitches, assholes, and dickheads.

Just doing her thing = posting videos of strangers?
Using the commons and getting annoyed the people exist because they’re interrupting your shot…you’re acting like an annoying influencer.
Go to private places or book them if you want freedom to keep your shot clean and clear. Otherwise, you’re main charactering. Stopping in the walkway, on the stairs, in doorways, etc., it’s all selfish behavior whether it’s for one shot or 100 or to do a dance or a skit or anything.
I know nothing about TikTok or instagram, but making history related content is actually informative and something I would watch.
I think the term 'influencer' is too broad. There is a huge difference between trying to receive low-effort attention vs sharing a hobby you're actually passionate about.
I'm a quilter, I woudn't consider the ladies doing quilt content at fairs influencers, we need a better term for talented people showing their work.
Non-influencers don't feel the need to try to vilify people who they think are sabotaging their shot, they either simply live with it and move on or take another a minute or two later.
I have posted and shared lots of pictures of people photo bombing me intentionally and unintentionally because I thought it was funny. Im not the only one. What's the difference?
Were you dropped on your head as a child? If I was trying to take a picture of my wife in front of a famous painting and some asshat kept standing in the way, you're damned right I'd be pissed.
The difference between me and the woman in this video is she has the platform to shame these asshats. And they need shaming.
It was messed up by the annoying lady which is why it was posted. The video is because it was in public so she could snag the one person free shot if she got one. She understood people would be walking up and down.
The fact that it's even online. Why post a clip of your botched video? Probably for cool internet points from their minions, eh, fans.
In either case, it wouldn't bother me. I'd just continue being normal in a public setting. I definitely wouldn't go out of my way to stay out of an "influencers" shot, but I also wouldn't purposely try to sabotage their video neither.
Damn so now you cant post things online without being an influencer?? Maybe she just wanted to take a picture of herself somewhere she thought looked cool and thought the interaction w the stranger was worth posting
Regardless tho I’m with you in that i’m sure as hell not goin out of my way to stay out of their shot. but as long as nobody is affected by what theyre doin nobody else should really care
That's not "influencer" behavior. She didn't sing, she didn't dance, she didn't do anything aside from trying to take a picture. You know people are allowed to take pictures or video and not every picture or video is influencer bs yes?
People are also allowed to stand in front of your camera in public when you are using it in public. Enjoy your pictures. Must be sad being so starved to be noticed that an individual is taking pictures of themselves. How narrcistiic and self important. "Waaah waah capture my likeness in this photograph waaaaaah" capture this moment of me at a place with items type shit. I hate humans.
Yes? People often want to take pictures of unique places they go or big moments in life, that's normal.... very normal. I mean yes, the older woman is allowed to stand wherever she wants, but the difference here is one woman isn't doing anything rude, disrespectful or wrong, the other is actively being a rude bitch, and for no reason. If the picture taking woman was being annoying or doing.... anything to get attention, I'd be all for the older woman's act of defiance... but that just wasn't the case.
I want to agree but I'm not getting "pick me" vibes from this. Pick me would be if she's trying to get clout or attention, but there is no one there, no group of people at the beginning even. Perhaps she'll post it online to some influencer page of hers, that's possible sure, but in that very moment, she's not doing anything pick me-esque as far as I can tell. Taking a photo in public is the best, and sometimes only, way to capture a memory and remind yourself of the experience and share it with others.
I'm pathetic because I am secure enough to respectfully utilize public spaces without acting like the entire universe is my personal blog? Okay. I'm pathetic.
Just because you don’t like “influencers” doesn’t give you the license to be an asshole. She was disturbing nobody and the old lady just decided to be annoying.
Lmao sure but your comment isn't applicable to this. I've taken photos and videos in a stairwell similar to this of my partner, it's a totally normal thing to do, especially in places like this.
she’s literally just trying to take a screenshot from a video because she doesn’t have anyone to take her pictures… young people do this all the time. shut the fuck up
I seriously don’t understand some people’s need to shit in everything. I’ve seen non-influencers have set-ups like that to take a photo or small video. She did it in the moment where no one was around, the old lady being a dick about it made it to where she could no longer take the photo/video without anyone around
She wasn’t bothering anybody until the woman purposefully made sure that she couldn’t take the photo in the brief moment that no one else was around
Listen I'm all for that too, but this just looks like a girl trying to take a selfie. She's not twerking on the stairs and yelling at people for blocking the view.
I know it might be a shcoking information to the average redditor. But people that go out like to take pictures of them, they aren't necesserely influencers
besides, this is likely staged as 99% of things in internet.
She didn’t really disturb anyone, and apparently she’s trying to make educational content, which i feel is more worthy of the minute tripod inconvenience than just taking a selfie for a personal Instagram. Even her reaction to the camera was extremely tame.
The lady’s reaction was pretty passive aggressive and didn’t communicate in any way what her problem is. If the problem is that the tripod is in the way, she can use her words. If the problem is she just generally hates influencers, well she’s going to have a hard time adjusting to the new reality we live in because that’s a significant portion of the economy now
I’m sorry but who sees someone setting up a cool camera shot and feels the need to block it just to be disruptive? No reason to think she’s trying to be an influencer.
Who fucking cares how they take the picture? The old woman is going out of her way to be a problem. It's probably a skit but the "influencer" isn't doing anything wrong anyways.
People are allowed to frame their photos how they wish. Especially when the point of their photo is the location. It doesn't make them an influencer, and neither does the location being in a museum.
You see someone by themselves taking picture, waiting patiently for you to leave so they don't bother you? You don't bother them either and move along. It's that simple.
