ugh, drone photography again

So, these people keep going on about drone photography like it’s the second coming of sliced bread or whatever. It’s not. Oh sure, real estate agents and wedding photographers drool over this flying piece of metal as if it’s going to magically make their lives better. Spoiler alert: it won’t.

The real kicker? You need a license to operate one of these things. Yeah, because nothing says ‘good use of time’ like sitting in a stuffy room learning about aviation rules because apparently, we all need to know how not to fly into a bird or something. It’s ridiculous!

Trying to remember which button makes it go up is already hard enough, now mix that with all these power lines and suddenly it’s a ‘high-skill’ job.

Oh, and high perceived value my foot! The moment you whip out a drone, everyone acts like they’ve never seen technology before. Woohoo, it’s the future! Until it crashes into a tree like a $1,000 kamikaze dancer. Honestly, the world was much better when photographers were held firmly on the ground and not running around with glorified remote-controlled helicopters.

And don’t even get me started on the noise — because who doesn’t love the gentle hum reminiscent of a persistent mosquito swarm?

If you really need more reasons to roll your eyes until you see your brain, here’s your rabbit hole. Whatever.
