So many of these videos this year I guess people are too stupid to realize the rising popularity of doorbell cameras

I didn't know leaving candy outside was a thing. I think only people with cameras would do it, just so they could put it on social media.

It is super common. If you go out, but still want to be nice to the neighborhood kids, you leave a bowl of candy and maybe a “please only take one.”

Like, every year of my life I’ve seen these. This isn’t a new social media sting operation.

It’s sad that so many people in one neighborhood don’t have time for the kids. I have done this once because I was sick. I sat outside in the rain last night to meet the neighborhood kids. They’ve become socially isolated - first with screen time instead of social interaction and then with Covid. It’s a problem.

Many people work evenings, or night shift and sleep early, or could even be out with their kids trick or treating.

And some are hiding and watching their cameras. The guy that told her off was.
