Absolutely. And he hopes that will be like some flashing light to get someone to notice him. It'so transparent. He both craves and fears attention. He wants some nobody to notice him, recognize him from YT, and he'll invariably ask if they want a picture. It feeds his fragile ego and offers some warped view or validation that he's a 'celebrity' rather than the park crawling wannabe in some tiny niche corner of YouTube he is.
He also fears greatly that the 'wrong' person will recognize him, some deranged 'hatter' who may want to do him harm or smash him and that cockcam..... and he has reasons to fear that from some of the comments I've seen over just this past year. The guy who grabbed his crotch, flipped him off and yelled "JERK" at him and the Doormat comes to mind.
