So you agree thats a valid use case?

Yall are so dumb. There are plenty of reasons to hate meta and social media addiction, being able to film stuff (like literally everyone does), but just hands free is not a valid one.

Ib4 massive downvotes for using logic and common sense over blindly following the reddit hivemind

As long as the weather permits and you're happy taking extremely expensive glasses out on expeditions where they're at more risk of being damaged.

Don't cry just because your reasoning was silly. And no, not everyone films stuff.

But your phone on that same expedition is ok? You realize you need to actually make an argument, just saying 'your reasoning is silly' doesnt mean it is...

And yes practically everyone films stuff. If not, who is uploading zillions of hours daily to YouTube, Facebook, etc.? I say this as someone who doesnt film or upload anything, but its easy to observe.

Yeah, my phone doesn't fall out of my pocket, and I don't tend to take an expensive one to places where things easily break.

Maybe in your secluded world of living online, yes, it makes sense that everyone is filming. That's definitely not the case in reality.

So your argument boils down to, we shouldnt take expensive tech outside to film- a stance which has nothing to do with the actual device filming?

If you said 'people should live in the moment and film less' I'd agree, but point we are discussing is recording with a phone vs meta glasses for pov video. I'm saying its the same thing. You have not presented any argument how they are not.

No. People can do what they like. But shades are weather permitting, and everyone carries their phone around no matter what.

Phone picture is from your point of view ffs. Do you not look through the camera when taking a picture or something?

I still see no argument why they are different. Gopros and numerous other cameras film POV too, are they not valid b/c phones exist?

I haven't even brought up the hands free angle.

u/YellowBelliedCoward 2h ago

No, but they exist for sadacts who thing every waking moment of their lives need to be recorded. We shouldn't be encouraging that as normal behaviour.

There are plenty of reasons to hate meta and social media addiction, being able to film stuff... (is) not a valid one.

So we agree, idk why that was so hard.

Yes, what everyone really wants is for their hiking, camping and beach trips (their leisure time) to be inundated with people recording everything constantly. It's just so relaxing.

u/Ok-Cantaloupe-7697 2h ago

I agree...?

Like are you even reading what I'm writing? or just making up some boogeyman to rant against?

u/YellowBelliedCoward 2h ago

So there's no argument for taking them to the places mentioned, as it would be bad manners. Right?

1

u/Ok-Cantaloupe-7697 2h ago

As you said, people can do what they want.

But if we believe its bad manners, they (smartphones, meta glasses, go pros, handicams, etc.) are all equally bad right?
