The owner didn't need to speak; the dog handled the entire situation

Filmed from the vision-impaired person's point of view, their guide dog (labrador?) leads them into an underground rapid transit carriage, nudging the person sitting on a priority seat to get up and let the owner sit down. The dog sits too and cosily nestles in between the owner's legs, showing a clear bond and understanding between the two.
@Rainmaker1973 ugh, the account is a bot.
@stragu
The only option is to block it. No alt text, no credit.

I take it back - the other option is to block the whole instance. It's shoveling X shit at us.

Yes, @Rainmaker1973 is a bot account.

But it is also proof that being a 'bot' account is not synonymous with being 'bad'.

The account distributes some amazing videos, and the selection shows that the makers have their hearts in the right place.

It's a cute video, may be staged, but who cares? It is nice, kind.

However. They aren't "makers"

It's just sucking things in from X and posting them here. Original creators be damned.

I looked at other posts, also unattributed, no alt-text and rare attributions, but only to the account that posted it.

So many instances require posts be self-made or attributed to the creator, but an instance like this just has 3 rules, 1 of which is "don't interact with the bots."

@xinit

I am aware that they are not the makers.

But the videos they post are often worthwhile and usually accompanied by a short description, so they have seen and selected the videos.

Accreditations would of course, be a lot better, and I can imagine people not following because that is missing.

They do not remove anything as well. It is very clear that this video came from 'The Dodo', a channel that I trust.
