That's the natural state of innocence - their reference frame is how the experience feels (I'm going fast and almost falling over!). When the scene takes over, the reference point shifts to how it looks - the raw experience is overtaken in importance by progress and status and comparison.
- Y_Y 2y ago> When the scene takes over, the reference point shifts to how it looks I accept this valid criticism of "posers" but I'd like to add that there's a strange loop here. It feels alien to me, but lots of people I know like to watch videos of themselves doing things (e.g. choreographed dances). It certainly does help to see how to improve, but also they get satisfaction from seeing themselves do the thing.
- brudgers 2y agoMaybe watching video of self-performance is subconscious confirmation that the work that went into making the video has indeed been done...and successfully posted...and does not stoke embarrassment.
- Y_Y 2y agoI mean they were watching them privately, not necessarily as part of social media
- brudgers 2y agoThat does not surprise me. When I make things, I often spend time confirming the work is done. And seeing what I actually made. It is part of the psychological experience of making things for me.

- wutisgood 2y agoMeta commentary like this is a symbolic language euphemism for recording a video and watching it. Look at you get satisfaction from recording in language observation of human agency.
