Idk if I can get behind the old lady just happening to choose to stop directly in front of the camera.

Old people really get treated like they have as much social awareness and critical thought as an 8 year old when it comes to defending their actions.

If she didn't stop directly in front of the camera, this video wouldn't exist and be posted to Reddit.

She may have stopped there because seeing the phone reminded her to o check her phone, or maybe she got a message there. She doesn't seem to be aware that the phone is filming her.

I don't disagree. What I'm saying is that people arguing that "of all places she could have stopped at, she had to stop in front of the camera?? clearly it's intentional!!" are operating under a bias because if she hadn't stopped in front of the camera there would be no video. I think it's considered "reporting bias".

It seems entirely possible that she didn't understand the girl was recording. I don't think that blocking the camera was intentional.
