  1. You know you can record and still enjoy the event right? If there’s a particular song from a concert I want to get on video to watch later then I’ll just aim the phone, hit record, and hold it up with one hand while while I watch the show. I go back and watch these videos semi frequently and they’re great memories to have

  2. Because I want to capture an amazing event and show others.

    … and I never watch or share anything. It’s getting backed up on pcloud though! Never going to download to watch it because pcloud is so slow

  3. I’ve never recorded an event *instead of* enjoying it, but I’ve recorded lots of events while simultaneously enjoying them. I do rewatch them, when they pop up on my smart displays or my photo backup app.

  4. People who record concerts and fireworks instead of fully enjoying the event are missing out on a crucial aspect of the experience. Sure, they might have a video to show for it, but they are sacrificing the present moment and the feeling of being in the moment. The point of these events is to enjoy them in real-time, not just to have a video to show later. They should put down their phones and immerse themselves in the moment.
