Nothing wrong with the video imo, if people think it's stupid that's just their opinion. When you're in public anything goes. The place this went wrong is that they lied to her about being filmed and didn't get her consent: but on the other hand, no one expects security camera operators to get consent either.

There might be a case for calling this kind of video "commercial use" to help someone profit off of views. In many places that requires a signed release from the subject of the video. Security footage isn't generally used to advertise a product or person.

  What's your stance then? That it should be illegal to speak to people in public?

    What an absurd take. Are you really so confused?

      Quite confused. Please explain.

        Sure: > That it should be illegal to speak to people in public? The error here has nothing to do with people speaking to one another in public. Of all the strawmen you could choose for why people find fault with this behavior, that's the least realistic.

        And yet neither you nor the other commented has explained their actual stance, so idk how you can accuse me of constructing a strawman when nothing substantive was articulated in the first place.

        Literally just read the top few comments. This isn't that hard mate: > The reason this act breaks a moral boundary is that it subverts a principle of "ends" [1]. A genuine random act of kindness cannot occur if it's being filmed. Filming the act turns it into a virtue display. It also turns the subject into an object of utility, a means and not and end in themself. > She was actually being kind to him by doing him a favor, and then he basically ran away and stuck her with them. That's not kind at all, it's pushy and exploitative. As someone who doesn't usually like to accept gifts from random strangers, I'd be really put off and uncomfortable; and that's before taking into consideration the fact that it was filmed and put online for people to gawk at.

        The way people ought to behave lies somewhere apart from the blatantly absurd comment of yours that I quoted upthread and the blatantly absurd straw man you attributed to me in reply.
