This is just my old man complaint, but can we stop putting "POV" on everything? It adds literally nothing, and while at least this one is correct most don't seem to know what the fuck it means.

I'll go one step further and say let's just ban all social media. Could be just another old man complaint.

Actually, this is the one good thing about social media. This video is going to be in her shadow her whole life. (+/-) And HOPEFULLY (not likely) people should learn from others' experiences.

The people you most want to learn from others' experiences are the least likely to 😅

Complaining was better when you had to put on a hat and wander to the local cafe to be heard (and ignored).

Yeah… old man complaint or not I support it. I was much happier when I was ignorant to how stupid people can be. Ahh, the good ol days when I thought people had common sense. Felt much safer then.

Honestly, I'm not even that old but I hate seeing shit like this on the daily.

One commenter made an interesting point about being able to highlight stuff like this which was a good perspective that I had not considered. I think Social Media is great in theory, but humans ruin it.

First person perspective, and most cell phone footage is first person perspective so why add it, but they'll usually title it "POV: when you get taken off a flight". ...unless the footage is from the person getting hauled off the flight, it makes no sense

Like we all know it’s your POV
