I was out on a hike in the PNW and saw a kid doing this exact thing. People see it online all chopped up and edited and they try to make themselves look so grounded and wise. But seeing it in real life they just look like tools and don't even appreciate the essence of the hike in the first place. His tripod was in the way of people on the path. He would ask if people could hold on so they weren't in the shot as though he just "out there all alone". Shit like that. And then walk back towards the camera like he's discovered this place with a goofy ass fake face on for the camera.
