Phonetard 

An individual that experiences life through the video camera function of their phone.
A video showed the recording of some "interesting" event. During that event, the filmer started filming someone else who was also filming the event. I have no doubt that the original filmer was in camera view of someone else who was also recording it. So they were filming someone, filming someone, filming an event. At some point a full loop likely transpired resulting in the original filmer or phonetard catching a glimpse of themselves through their own camera.
