You always run into someone in RDR2 too.
The problem is… All of it sux except a couple of guys trying to crack a stolen safe earlygame that nets you whopping $40 and earlygame it's a huge sum. You'll see this thing repeated later, several times, but by then you'll be a billionaire.
The rest of random encounters are lazy, boring and best to just ignore. Kidnaped damsels in distress, an imbecile who needs directions, a guy who's horse escapes, blind beggar, robbers, escaped prisoners, crazy priest, whatever irritating in cities caller for Gavin and carriage/train robbery in progress. I think I've numbered all possibilities in RDR2 and they all repeat indefinetly. Note that damsels in distress sometimes want you to ride them home. Like you don't have anything better to do than riding, again. And you have to make sure to ride over roads, otherwise the damsel will protest first, then will tell you to shove off, climb down the horse and walk away while you won't get the most important +1 rep.
Wait, no, that's not all. There is also a saloon with rats infestation. Regardless of how many times you clear those, rats return the next day and the stupid owner whines on street again and again, over and over, till you uninstall the overrated mediocrity.
Then there is pokemon. Animals called legendary. Fish included. You can't stumble on these before unlocked through a main and side quests. But these don't appear randomly, they all have a fixed spot on the map. You'll kill one or two only to learn it's same old same old unrewarding chore.
I've said before, RDR2 has the most boring world I've seen in any game.
If by some chance you didn't took my advice to skip it, I really have to suggest concentrating on actual sidequests not generated randomly.
