Showing off her fancy new $500 Dyson to there 5 followers on TikTok. You really think she sat there and vacuumed for an hour while trying to get her kid to walk to her with nothing but her there to keep him entertained. The amount of stupid shit people record to post or send to friends is massive. Maybe 5 years ago you could question it but anymore you’ll see people recording walking down a mundane street for no reason other than chasing shitty influencer status.
This, idk how people are really questioning why she was filming. People will film themselves doing anything and everything.
Also as a childcare provider who has witnessed many first few steps, there's nothing here that makes me think this ISN'T baby's first time walking. Some babies cruise for a while and get pretty strong, and this baby is old enough that they're not necessarily going to be super unsteady.
I scrolled so far looking for someone saying this, but you're right. That vacuum is a game changer; there is 100% an audience for little demos like the one she was recording.
Favorable explanation. First steps are a process. Babies will try and fail many times over the course of days/weeks. The mom decided to start filming constantly to catch the first steps.
Or she’s constantly filming to get content. One of the advice for content creators is to set up your camera and just film everything. I did it for dance and drawing but a lot of people are definitely setting up their cameras before they do anything. It must be tiring.
