Or not so respectfully. I don't pay €50 to see someone's iPad for 2 hours.



You kind of do, right? If you had €50,000,000, you could have a private concert. You don't, so the general public is there, doing general public things.


Not being able to afford a private concert doesn’t mean that common decency should go out of the window too though.


It's nice if people are nice, and we should strive to be nice. I am not sure how that translates to a paid camera app that sees your child taking her first steps, runs it through a machine learning model that classifies it as a concert, and then prevents you from taking a video of it. Whatever infinitesimal amounts of concert jackassery it prevents comes with a downside of literally losing a once-in-a-lifetime event. That is the very definition of shitty software, and we should reject it aggressively.

If you want people to not block your view at concerts, demanding that they have a machine learning model control what they can take videos of is not the solution. Hire some guy to say "hey, stop filming on your iPad or you're out."
