The comment described a plausible scenario of how flock could be used in the described stalking. Instead of assuming the commenter is paranoid and delusional, we should make sure that surveillance cameras cannot be used in that way, especially given that there are actual documented cases of flock being used for stalking and no apparent safeguards to prevent it.

It can be a bit of both. There are subreddits full of people claiming to be gangstalked. Who is paying these people to follow this person around? Or they just have enough free time/no job and do it for fun?

Yes, this. I wouldn't start by victim blaming over what is a plausible event from recent media coverage of Flock.
