Seems to be a mite (possibly red velvent mite).

So what are these sentient dots? I keep seeing them everywhere, but no one else around me does. This is the first time I’ve seen anyone else acknowledge their existence.

If you ever wonder what lives around you (and you have not the worst phone/camera), you could take pictures of it and upload it to iNaturalist. It is such a great site/app to learn about all the organisms around you :)

Red spider mites. They’re plant pests.

Red spider mite is the common name for Tetranychus urticae. That’s quite the specific ID for such a terrible picture. I don’t think it’s correct, Trombidiidae seems more likey (and those are predetors).

You know what, I think you are right. I was hasty and the shape fits your suggestion better.
