@wonkautism@presumptiveflow@tashabloombaby The notification piece is valid, I just don’t know how you determine who needs notification access and who doesn’t + if the goal is also to avoid recording idk how you prevent someone who needs notifications from also taking videos
@Cat0bv___@for7evermore It’d be one thing if concert crowds were full of a bunch of people taking backwards videos of them having a blast and capturing memories, but it’s mostly people standing completely still trying to get the perfect shot (I’m guilty of this too sometimes)
@smallishluna Sorry this happened to you, but in this case for every one legitimate phone need, there would be ten people who claim need in order to get their concert footage and it’d quickly just become a phones allowed concert
The venues have spaces to unlock and check phones inside tho
@wonkautism@presumptiveflow@tashabloombaby The venues have phone acceptable areas away from the performance where you can unlock the pouch - also it’d be a nightmare for venue staff to determine who has a legit need to access their phone during the concert and who doesn’t
But that’s why there’s a space for it inside
The Phoebe no phones policy is revealing how severely broken so many people’s brains are.
“Why go to a concert if you can’t film it?”
DO YOU HEAR YOURSEVLES?!?!?
phoebe bridgers managed to turn msg into a living room jam session and at one point the crowd waved their lighters instead of flashlights like it was 1973. would lovee to see more artists ban phones at concerts tbh
@Jerry_C__@LinkofSunshine Yeah or to assume that just because she “lost money” on her savings account, she has less purchasing power at the end of the year
It was very much a “I know the point of this question and what the answer ‘should’ be, but it’s not correct”
dunno if it’s possible to overstate how potentially transformative it is to have a player like wemby become the face of the nba. a bunch of boys/young men growing up seeing this kind of unabashed raw emotion and care factor is big time
