AIBU to laugh at Influencers

Went out for lunch yesterday to celebrate a friend’s birthday, lovely place with an outside deck overlooking the water.
We had a table on the water’s edge and mid way through our meal two young women appear and start taking pictures of each other doing very dramatic poses on the railing inches away from our table.
We were all rather bemused at the spectacle but thought a few pics and they would be done soon. They then, decide that pictures are not enough and starting filming each other doing some sort of slow motion strut around, this was then followed by some filming of each other presenting “We’re at this beautiful venue today, look how beautiful it is blah blah fucking blah” whimsy spinning their phones around capturing everyone else in the restaurant.
it was at this point that one of friends asked what they were doing and got the response “Oh we are filming for our socials”
They then asked if they could hold our bottle of champagne to get some pictures, which was met with a “Er, no”.
The restaurant manager then appeared, asked them wheat they were doing and did they have a reservation? The CFs had just walked in off the street, through the restaurant and on to the deck purely to film content.

So my AIBU is was it wrong that we all oisaed ourselves laughing when they were swiftly ejected for being sad bastard CF influencers?

I am so sick of influencers who are barely out their teens trying to tell people what to do etc but more embarrassed at grown adults following them.

There’s a guy in our town who looks like he should be in LA and is regularly seen out making content such as this for fashion items he makes. He gets awful abuse but he’s featured on some cool tv shows and in magazines and in some good shops in Dublin and he’s apparently close to his first million euro so I’m like fair dues!!!
