YouTuber takes the selfie to the next level: #selfiewithstrangers


23-year-old YouTuber Jason Rodjanapanyakul has a hit video on his hands after taking the “selfie” to the next level. Armed with his video camera Rodjanapanyakul went around a Seattle mall shouting “selfie” before “snapping” a photo with his victim. The responses he got were overall positive. Rodjanapanyakul points out that only two or so of the 50 people he approached didn’t seem to enjoy having their #selfiewithstrangers taken.


Jason told ABC News:


In a nutshell, my goal is to entertain viewers who are looking for a giggle and at the same time inspire people to overcome their apprehension of social interactions [...] The uprising of these YouTube channels consisting of social experiments/pranks are not only giving people a laugh or two, but they also serve a purpose of inspiring others to leave their comfort zone.
