My wife's family owns a fireworks store. We demo fireworks every year and record them on my phone. We post them on the store's YouTube channel. We have people that watch and comment on them all the time as soon as we post them. We also have QR codes on our price tags linking to the videos so people can scan them and watch while shopping and it is an extremely effective tool for sales. But we might be the exception.

I met the neighbors who talked about their trip in Europe, and then proceeded to show me a 2 minute video of fireworks in Paris off their phone.
It wasn't even like a good shot or framing, nor could I tell it was Paris. It was just a random hotel room, and in the background, fireworks.
She then put her phone away and said, "Neat, huh?"
I don't know if it was just peak comedy or if I was being Punk'd or something.
I once had someone show me loads of photos of their holiday. Just....why?

San Diego calls its fireworks show the Big Bay Boom. But every year, I think that time was the only real Big Bay Boom.

It's a time honoured thing from back in the day when you took your camera with you on holiday, your roll of film had 36 exposures that you had to ration and think carefully about where and when to use them.
So when you got back and had your photos developed and printed, you had 36 photos to share with people.
Now you can take thousands of pictures per day with your phone and there's no life to any of them as you force people to swipe through them.

I wanted to see some images or videos of fireworks in nearby areas to know what to expect but there weren't any in the search results.
Sadge.

You forgot the days of "taking reversal/slide film photos and inviting friends over for the holiday photo slideshow"

I mean, fuck it. If you like recording stuff and posting it then go for it.

But at the same time please keep your fucking hands down if you're in a crowd.

Big tech tries to help, automatically making short videos with meh music and a few questionable photo choices. Perhaps sometimes better than swiping through 200 unsorted photos, made more likely if removing/replacing bad photos accordingly.
I think Apple can do it on device if I’m not mistaken, which mostly removes the creepy factor.
I do like how my refusal to ever albumize/tag anything has been given such a soft landing!

Does literally nobody else here ever video something so that in twenty years’ time they have something to remind them of the day they went for a nice evening out and saw some pretty shapes and colours? Not everything has to be for going viral on YouTube.
I only wish I’d shot more videos when I was younger, would be nice to retrieve some forgotten memories.

I look at all my old pics, and I have many thousands, but tbh I never really watch old videos. These days I try to be a lot more careful about what’s actually worth a video and what should just be a picture and a memory

My mom recorded a video of me and my younger brother taking apart a bunch of different fireworks and trying to make a massive firework with it. (Ya know, after typing that out, it sounds kinds bad right? I swear she was a great mom) It ended up being a big dud but it brings me joy every year. So at least one person watches it (its me) most years.
