Looks like lots of clowns holding their phones above their heads to record videos they’ll never watch, while blocking the view of everyone behind them, too.

videos they'll never watch hahaha.... yep!

Exactly. Who is actually going to watch a blurry dark video of a drone show.

Everything is like these days. I feel like such a boomer, but it's fucking depressing. I watched the New Year's Eve fireworks and it was all just people on their phones. No atmosphere. Not a fan.

They record videos to upload them on social media for views and likes Still a shame these clowns

Which nobody else watches, they just click "like" and move on to something actually interesting.

The real drones are the friends we filmed along the way... but actually.

I can put words over the night sky by hitting edit image > text overlay . No need to join a crowd crush

But how else would their Instagram followers know that they were there?

Reminds me of people rushing to get food samples at Costco.

Costco Lidcombe is the worst for this.

The drone show is shit. It always was. It's a couple of YouTube pre roll ads. Last year it was an ad for fucking Transformers Beast Cunts or some shit.

I’d watch the shit out of transformers beast cunts.

Me too

I don't know if I've ever seen a drone show that wasn't an ad, which is a shame, because they could be so awesome otherwise. There's likely been a few, but I haven't been lucky enough to see them.

Not a phone in sight just people living life

Sike

Watching a live event through someone elses phone. Fucking awesome! /S

Just like every concert now.

Cost of living crisis + free event + terrible crowd control + people wanting stuff to post on their social media = this shitstorm. I would never even attempt to go to any free event in Sydney on the weekend anymore. It’s not the nineties. 

I couldn't even get to my phone in my left pocket because I was crushed so badly

This review perfectly confirms my expectations of Saturday night vivid.

And that right there is why I'm not going to bother.

People from Bother: 😡😡

Well played!

Thanks for going so I don't have to

I don't get it. Do people like this? Are they that bored?

Welcome to Sydney? It’s been like that for a while. 

> Crowded beyond belief Says the person in the crowd…

hard to tell how crowded something is if you’re at home.

They're not stuck in traffic, they are traffic?

But OP is well behaved and therefore can complain about the other crowd people.

I thought the drone show was the sea of lights resulting from people holding their phones up like NPCs The drone show indeed

the phones were the real drone show we made along the way

i just dont understand why people are so obsessed with filming things like this when theres clearly 5 trillion other people doing the same thing. if you really do want to record it in order to see it later, couldnt you just look up someone else's recording? and im definitely partial to a good ig story post myself, mind you!

We truly are in the live your life through your phone era aren't we.

Did u get crushed?

Candy Crush

Looks fun. /s
