Anyone who has encountered the world of social media influencing is aware of the scourge that is doing it for the 'gram. From tourist hotspots to fancy restaurants, many spaces these days are overrun with people trying to get the perfect shot for that sweet taste of occasionally-monetized validation.
In recent years, this thankless task has been accompanied by something even worse: those who are doing things for TikTok. All those meticulously filtered edits are that much more seductive (and highly engaged with) when they come in video format, meaning that every aesthetic opportunity now takes twice as long, potentially doing more harm than good.
This was the case for one unfortunate farmer, who posted on r/legaladvice after their crop had fallen foul of some greedy TikTokers who wanted the perfect shot. After approximately 15% of their citrus crop was destroyed by people cutting and squeezing the fruits, they hoped that they might be able to sue. While fellow Redditors couldn't give a definitive answer to the question, they sympathized with the problem. Although everybody is within their rights to create as many pretty online posts as they want, that doesn't involve trespassing and ruining somebody's livelihood.
