To anyone reading this, the bystander effect is maybe not as strong as we once thought. Mainly because a 2019 study showed more than 200 real-life situations caught on CCTV where the bystander effect was not shown to happen.
Even if it's not as strong, or even if it doesn't exist at all, it's still a good idea. It's an unambiguous order to a single person. There's no way to think it's anything else. A general appeal can be seen as anyone else should do it, but you're not going to.
It wasn't even real in the Kitty Genovese case, which is the most famous "example" of it happening.
It's still good practice. Suddenly everyone is looking at that person to do the thing, and if they don't the problem is more clear.
