>The fact of the matter is that even when presented when evidence of objectively bad decisions, people will still do them.

Yup.

The NYT story from yesterday is a perfect example of this.

The story details how a kid went to a memorial for a friend who died subway surfing, yet he continues to subway surf himself.

If his own buddy dying didn't deter him from subway surfing for internet clout, no amount of fear-mongering PSAs will do it, either.

I have no clue what the solution is, though getting these videos banned is a start.

It is crazy to me that the MTA didn't get this done a long time ago, given the one video last June of the kids doing it on the J-Train went really viral.
