When has anyone EVER posted one of those shitty cell phone videos where you wanted to watch itI guarantee you that if you look on YouTube , there are plenty of videos recorded at concerts in general that get views , likes and dislikes , and have a wide range of quality not always good , but not always bad either , there absolutely is an audience irrespective of the size or lack thereof . Seriously , of all the arguments to rail against the overuse of phones at concerts and I agree there are a number of good points to be made , I don ' t think this is necessarily a good one it just seems ignorant of the idea that it depends on a lot of factors , like the music , the venue , the person recording and whether they are competent or not , as well as being ignorant to the fact that people might jolly well watch it again , and that some not doing so doesn ' t mean you can assume everyone is the same .
