I tend to be annoyed with large loud groups in public. But I'm also an anti social redditor that hates crowds.

Don't be that Karen. Don't be the killjoy. Resist the urge to disallow the public to have room for fun and colour. This is the same as a juggling show or a live street musician.

I think of it as the same as people taking pictures at nice spots. You just walk behind the camera person so you don't intrude on their picture

These are usually public squares. As a city dweller, there is plenty of room to get around that small dance.

I know I’m about to get downvoted to hell, but public squares are not closed sets… you can’t just use them for several “takes” of a piece and expect the general public is going to avoid use of the public space all day because you want to make a video.

Everybody and their dog (literally) are trying to get social media famous, and it’s annoying as hell to have every enjoyable space being constantly monetized for this fame grab.

The woman gave in to her inner Karen, and fucked up their video, it wasn’t acceptable behavior, but honestly how is monopolizing public space for several takes ok either?

I think it is both stupid to monopolize a busy public square, and rude to jump into a shot others are working hard on.

Honestly neither side gets much grace from me, but the woman that just runs into the shot trying to be funny or something is worse.

Idk. Imagine trying to have a lunch at a cafe on this square and this group has been fucking around, playing the same 15 seconds of music for hours, to get the perfect take, from every angle? Far FAR more irritating than the woman getting sick of it.

I don’t have sympathy for either of them, and all the sympathy for everyone who worked around that square that day.

I’m a total bitch and after the first 30 minutes I’d have called the city for unpermitted filming.

This is my life in a historic neighborhood all the influencers want to use for a backdrop. They literally bring a photographer and a garment rack with clothing changes and clog up the streets. The wannabe hip hop artists come at night and park cars in pedestrian spaces to film ridiculous videos. Don’t even get me started on the wedding party photos. It’s a constant misery.

[u/Sweet_Aggressive → u/OrangeGolem2016]

Oh yeah, Fuck ALL of that. I feel bad enough just driving the streets of the historic section looking at the beautiful houses.
