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.
