Comment on Why do I almost never see people flying drones?

Can only speak for myself, but they are a huge invasion of privacy. I know it’s a drop of water in a bucket with everything else hyper connected, but when I see them it’s always somewhere I’m just trying to enjoy something peacefully and even though it’s very unlikely I’m particularly being watched, it just feels like a huge privacy invasion.

Depends on the drone of course, but for the most part the camera lens is so wide that you’re nothing more than a tiny speck on the screen. To actually recognize a person I’d need to fly so close that it’s obvious you’re being watched. The drones with cameras capable of that are loud enough that it won’t go unnoticed, and the people who invest that much in one generally have better things to do with it than being a creep.
I get your point and I don’t disagree. Just wanted to offer some perspective.
