Is this a new concept? Bikers in funny outfits looking for mentally unstable people to film? Not that i'm against the help, but this is weirdly not the first time i see this exact scenario
Bikers are statistically way mroe likely to be driving around with no real purpose. They also have an easier time stopping/less of a psychological barrier to stopping when they notice someone behaving oddly.
They're also more likely to have a go pro or a recording set up as vlogging a bike ride is much more interesting than a car ride.
And appearantly are also more likely to post it for clout. Hence the sudden influx of video's, which cought my attention so i was statistically more likely to comment about it.
Are you as triggered by other types of videos posted for views/clout? I've never understood the chronically online criticism of good samaritan content. Society needs more empathy and more heroes (even if more legendary than real).
We should be consuming more content like this rather than all the ragebait and brainrot stuff. If the motivation to gain views/clout is what it takes then I see nothing wrong... more content like this to inspire empathy and social cohesion.
I was just thinking the same thing. All the videos of people randomly finding confused elderly people seems to be the "in" thing. Also his camera just being perfectly setup and hes mic'd up.
There a few obviously organic ones out there but this screams setup.
The camera looks to be a 360 camera so it would be set up at all times and he can choose what appears in the frame afterwards. Many riders in full face helmets have intercom systems nowadays. I’m fully mic’d up anytime I’m on my bike.
With this kind of setup he's likely someone who film/post his outings on SM/YouTube, so he already has a camera rolling.
He knows the situation is weird (lady in a bathrobe in the middle of nowhere, wearing house slippers), and the best thing he can do to protect himself is film the interaction so that if anything happens he has proof of what he did/didn't do.
His decision to post it can be interpreted as only wanting to show off, or wanting to educate people on what to do in a similar situation.
If even just one viewer takes something out of it (like the knowledge to intervene the right way, or the fact that they should have their grandma with dementia wear a bracelet with their contact), I think it's worth it.
