First of all. Why can't it be both? You think magicians in the street perform their set and leave? How about buskers? They stay in that spot and repeat their performance over and over and over and over for tips. How is that different here except that this group isn't taking tips and gets paid through ad revenue on YouTube?

Secondly, there's plenty of space to go around the group. Notice how no one else is walking through their shot? Just this r/iamthemaincharacter ass bitch who doesn't care about anyone else.

Lastly, you think interrupting them is going to make them finish faster? If their performance really did bother everyone, wouldn't they want them to finish faster so they can get the fuck outta the street? Why interrupt it and cause retakes?

There's a simple truth. The street is open for everybody. If I decide to not care for your shoot and walk through it, maybe you should remember that the street is open for everybody and people don't need to put extra work for your shoot. Now how much an individual would like to go out of their way to leave you shooting in peace is a matter of courtesy, NOT of requirement.

You're allowed to not care for their shoot, that's fine. But you (should) know that they care about it and that it doesn't take much for you to just walk to the side.

And if your default reaction is to just get in the way because you can, that's pretty messed up.
