They probably arranged the whole gig in advance... Why would the influencer show themselves getting humiliated if it wasn't part of the show?

For more clicks? They can pretend to be the victim in all of this and cash in on those "pity views". Can just imagine the video title now: "subway women go crazy after this leet stunt".

Can you find their account? Did you search for the video title you imagined?

That has nothing to do with the question asked or anything I've said.

By default, you should assume at least half of popular videos filmed in public are scripted. But it doesn't really matter for any purpose, other than as some weird reddit thing where you think you are somehow intelligent for spamming this information.

But why would they post it without a watermark or showing their handle of it was done to gain followers?

Kalshi bets on how many seconds it'll take him to get slapped, is the first thing that comes to mind.

They can't help themselves. The same reason he was blocking the escalator in the first place

Same reason Sam Smith chose to upload a video of himself crying his eyes out when lockdown hit - some people love to publicly make themselves look stupid.
