'I walked in front of the camera': Redditor sparks online discussion with their petty tactic for dealing with influencers out in the wild

I have to admit that I'd include myself in the former category. If it weren't for my crippling social anxiety and ingrained fear of strangers on the internet, I'd be out there trying to farm followers for the clout and cash. 

It seems like an easy breezy way to start a side hustle and escape from that corporate grind, but the reality is a little different. In order to create content in public places, you have to literally not give a flying fucus about what anyone else thinks of you. This gives narcissists, sociopaths, and other sycophants an extreme edge in the space. 

Meanwhile, the rest of us have been trained to be as hospitable and respectful as possible to others in public and social settings, so we humbly tilt our heads, avert our gaze, and otherwise avoid unwarranted eye contact with people while out in public. 

This creates awkward situations when we're forced to endure the entitled actions of influencers; most of us still try to steer clear of their impromptu photo shoots in order to not stir the pot.

Enter: this Redditor. They sparked a discussion on the popular r/pettyrevenge subreddit by sharing the tactic that they use when dealing with these entitled influencers. Their tactic is to give as little of a fucoid about the influencer as the influencer does about everyone else; they just walk through the shot as if no one is there at all. Others chimed in via the comments to share their experiences, advice, and appreciation for dealing with these entitled people.
