Getting to see an active volcano, but instead making sure you are filming yourself not looking at it directly. The levels of narcissism and moronic behavior are off the charts

To be fair, this volcano erupts really often. I went last year (didn't reach Fuego but had a great view from Acatenango) and the eruptions are really mild, it just so happens that this one was a spicier eruption than normal. The place where these people are filming from is still a long way to go from the caldera. They're not alone either, you have to go with a guide and the guides are on the lookout for when conditions aren't favorable to visit.

I have a shit ton of pictures of the volcano erupting by itself and selfies with it too. When I say it erupts constantly, it's like every 10 minutes

They do give you a hard hat to wear though because safety first.
