A person who, in a public setting, discreetly records a conflict or dramatic event—like a fight, robbery, or argument—using a hidden camera or smartphone, with the aim of maximizing viral potential, often disregarding the privacy or well-being of those involved.

two men started fighting in the street, he saw his chance. Acting like he was on a regular call, he discreetly pointed his phone toward them, capturing the whole thing—not to help, but just to get viral content.
