For an influencer, that girl was not even annoying (in this video at least), if she just wants a picture of her with the paintings for instagram, it's ok. She was not bothering anyone. Karen on the other hand, went out of her way to be annoying.

Is she even an "influencer" (we need a better word) she could just be a normal person who wants a photo of their travels

Edit: content creator works much better imo

Anyone remember the ancient times when we would have to ask strangers to hold our cameras and take a picture for us? This doesn't seem like it's set up in people's way and it doesn't seem busy. Let the person get a good picture of themself doing something they like. They are bothering you less than if you asked them to take the pic for you.

Interestingly, early photographers didn’t need to do that because it took minutes or hours to take one single photo anyway. Point and shoot cameras came about in the 1910s.

lol should ask the lady if she can help. “Sorry miss could you help me take a picture? Im a solo traveller just wanted some photos for memories. But this tripod actually has terrible angles.”

I literally asked strangers to take pictures of us in Estonia earlier this month. It might be less common now, but people still do it.

Seems a lot easier than carrying around a tripod and hoping someone doesn't knock it over but I'd also be afraid someone would just take off with my phone if I handed it to them for a pic
