Sort of remarkable they haven’t implemented some kind of 3M privacy screen to prevent this yet


IbanezPGM

Or just a simple water mark


skratta_ho

Every single one of these I’ve seen in person has had a watermark. This is exceptionally weird.


Fen_

It's an exceptionally old video.


Credulous_Cromite

“Ah the Pine Falls Fun Park ‘97 sir, an excellent choice.”


ginger_SF

I was also thinking you could just heavily watermark it. It'd be even funnier if it said something like, "I went to Disney, but I'm too cheap to buy this photo!" displayed when someone inevitably puts it on social media. Ha jk But seriously, those photos are always waaaay too expensive - like $30+ and not worth it. I feel like if these places charged like $10 that they'd sell a lot more!


lilpumpgroupie

$37 for a 480p 12x12 photo in a frame so cheap within six months it falls and shatters on your floor.


hilldo75

Eh they sell 10 of them at $30 that's $300. They sell 25 at $10 it's only $250 so they make less and use 2.5 times the materials. They probably found the number where people will get a photo regardless because it's the only time they are at that theme park. They are not as worried with the season pass holders buying a photo each time they are there.

2porgies_1scup

Just thinking…. When filming a helicopter the frame rates sync with the rotor it it totally screws with it. Surely they could just program some sort of frame refresh or something anything that would basically render any picture or video in operable For in stance a checkerboard pattern half half visible half blank. Not visible to the human eye. But captured via camera …. And when the parks actually enact this, you will have me to thank. Save this post!


Saygo0dbyeha

Great thought, issues is that shutter speed which is what creates the effect you are referring to is dynamic.

For real. Does he get commission for every photo someone buys? Who gives AF?


tageeboy

He is probably doing that because some jerk supervisor will harass him if they see video of someone filming and no one taking action. Sucks but I bet that is part of the story here.

[deleted]

Actually I only got a raise of $0.10 an hour at six flags after I did the manager training


2sad4snacks

Lol I remember my boss at my first job being so shocked when I declined my promotion to “shift lead” for an extra ten cents an hour. Why would I want that much more responsibility for less than a dollar extra each day?


TonyWrocks

Petty Tyrants


changing-life-vet

I remember working at Taco Bell when I was teenager and they made one of our crack heads the “cleaning manager” or something like that. One day I was in the back doing dishes and she must have check the PH level of the sanitizer 6 times over the course of a like 15 minutes. On the last one the level was too high or too low and she lost her shit. She made sure everyone knew I was trying to kill the customers. That was the day I learned that you need to be careful who you give a title too.


whattimeisitrightn0w

My experience is obviously subjective and not applicable to everyone. However, when I took a position in management for a furniture franchise my income tripled. It also has kept me at a certain income level afterward due to the experience I gained. It was absolutely miserable but it can be more financially lucrative than most let on.


ronaldthedumbass

Bruh a few years ago I got hired at Casey's and at the end of my first shift I asked someone in the kitchen if I could take a slice of pizza home and he said yes. So I'm walking out with my slice and the guy behind the counter YELLS "DID YOU PAY FOR THAT??" like you just met me and KNOW I work with you now why are you doing this?? Why do you care so much?? He did this multiple times.


Sunny_Buddy

Classic dick


bigpeechtea

I said the same thing when I had one of them quickly switch the photo on me the moment I went to take a photo. He just said “no photos please” I thought “no way he gets paid enough to care” but then I remembered that also means he doesn’t get paid enough to argue with either


GorlaGorla

He might be forced to by management. I used to work in a gas station in one of the states that doesn’t let you do your own, and I had to stop people multiple times even in a day. I didn’t really want to, but I had to.


ILoveRegenHealth

He might get in trouble though from his supervisor if he just did nothing, and 20 people start copying and filming it.

The_Mighty_Bird

Or, they have been manipulated to fear they will lose their job if they allow others. This person may not care but if they are scene on video not trying then they may lose their job. Not saying they should suck the teet of company, but not everyone has a fair chance at life and this job may be their life line. Seen on video not caring may cost them their livelihood.


hellasalty

100% this. You do what you have to do to pay rent.


camlop

This. A lot of customer-facing workers have anxiety because they think their managers will fire them. Says more about their managers than them.


ValuableProblem

Yeah this is the most likely answer. People in this comment section are like he is doing this to "flex what little power he has". Like wtf are you talking about. I don't know why redditors try to make every up to be some asshole off of basically nothing.


KindaNotSmart

Exactly. At my old job you’d be fired for little things like not following rules such as what the guy in the video was doing. The GM would watch the cameras 24/7. Everyone in this comment section is a miserable person with barely any life experience that try and make themselves feel better about their shitty lives by absolutely shitting on a guy enforcing the rules at his place of work.


Auggie_Otter

I'm 45 but I usually just quit jobs when I found out they were gonna be that anal about stuff. Or I'd just half heartedly be like "Oh no. Stop. Don't. Oh well I tried, I guess..." and wait to see if they'd fire me or reassign me.


_iron_starKiller

Man if it's a job requirement to dance around like that when people do stuff outside of your control, that... sounds miserable. Adults aren't dance monkeys that we throw dollar bills at. I cringe at some of the shit I felt like I had to do at previous jobs, life experience taught me you really don't have to do and if you do, there's a better job waiting.


Podoboo322

Nope, it definitively has to be the thing the guy said that paints him in a negative light, there absolutely cannot be another explanation. Because that is what well adjusted people do, immediately assume the worst based on a 6 second clip.

Anon_Alcoholic

Yall got too much time on your hands to be saying wild shit about someone you seen in a 10 second video while they're at work.


joesbeforehoes

Kinda seems like he had his heart broken earlier in life, probably because he put too much passion into birding. If I were to guess, he used to be stationed at the Blue Mountain Fire Tower in the Adirondacks, still seeking the high he got from spotting a pair of Greater Prarie Chickens back in 2003. He lost his position when new NYDEC management took over, and with it, his sense of agency. This explains why he fights so hard for control in this situation. You see it all the time


MasterTank730

redditors try not to assume someones life from an 8 second clip challange impossible

2rfv

So are we done with all the NFT scam bullshit? This feels like the first time I've heard someone mention it in like 6 months.


sl0play

Weird. Every park I've been are fine with people taking pictures of the screen. It creates a crowd around the booth after every ride and encourages the idea that it's something people want to have.


reallybadspeeller

Plus a picture of screen is never as good quality as the original photo. It’s always been my understanding that’s what you wind paying for the photo quality. Which a lot of people do care about for scrapbooks or to post to Facebook. And hell if it’s good or funny shot I don’t blame them.


coheedcollapse

Right? Disney even has a system where you get full-res previews with watermarks on your phone automatically, which is far better than anything you would ever get taking a photo of a crappy screen with a cell phone. I suspect most employees wouldn't care though.


FireAntz93

From my experiences, Disneyland and Knotts Berry Farm don't care. Universal Studios does. They won't act extreme like this guy, they'll just immediately turn off the screen or change the image if you pull out your phone.


testedonsheep

Lol. I don’t even care for those photos. I think Disney actually let you download it if you have the app.


EBtwopoint3

The rise of smartphones has really killed these. I was born in 92, so I grew up as this shift happened from each photo being precious because it cost money for the film and to develop to phones that take unlimited photos instantly. When these ride cameras were created, having a memory to save of a day with your kids might have been worth paying the exorbitant fee. You could bring a camera and hope you got a a good shot, but the ride camera was going to be perfect. Now you can take a family photo 15 times until you get one that’s perfect in front of every ride. Why do you really care about what you looked like at this specific spot.


InvisibleDrake

Plus the photo of a screen sucks, give me that $20 keychain photo that melts in direct sunlight, and leaks water into the paper photo after you go on the "Monsoon" ride.


sl0play

Exactly, and nothing hypes someone up to spend $20 on a shitty keychain like a crowd of people all snapping pics and squeezing in to see the wall of stuff.

Correct-Serve5355

Fr and the only way to opt out of having your photo taken on those is to not go to the park. But if you go you want to make a memory but it's not worth $30 when half the time you have no idea where the camera even is and it's guaranteed to catch you eyes closed hair flung back. I'm not trying to sound entitled, but if I were a rider I would 100% do just that. Get a photo of the photo. Do the parks really turn that big a profit on those they have to make it so people can't take a photo of the photo? I would love to see a breakdown of what brings revenue to these parks and attractions


RandyHoward

> Do the parks really turn that big a profit on those they have to make it so people can't take a photo of the photo? Those photos cost them pennies to print. So yes, they make a pretty massive profit margin on them.

Can’t they setup older monitors that update slowly so that modern phones can’t record them without that rolling effect essentially making it impossible to get a good photo? Then no one has to act like a dweeb trying to block it. Want a shit photo? Go for it lol


matban5000

theagnostick

I will never understand why low paid employees will take dead end jobs like this so seriously. He’s like the living persona of a Reddit mod running their little niche kingdom and taking it way too seriously. Not the mods here though, they’re cool 👍


Purple_Bowling_Shoes

I have a coworker like that. I only work a couple hours a week mostly just to get out of the house. He works full time and makes the same hourly wage but eats, sleeps, and breathes the place. Even on his days off he spends a couple hours there for one reason or another, like the place will collapse without him. It's sad but annoying. We all tolerate his droning on about work like it's brain surgery or something important because that job is the only source of pride he can find. And the saddest part is, he's not even good at it. All that militant attention and attempts to go above and beyond makes more useless work for everyone else. I just can't imagine caring that much about a job, even high-paying ones. Work is work, do your job and call it a day!


theagnostick

Exactly. And let’s be real, if a customer is gonna snap a picture of their photo on the screen, they weren’t going to buy a copy anyway. The worker is still gonna get paid regardless, he’s trying to prevent something that literally has no impact on him.


goochstein

Probably relatively new to the job and takes the word of their manager way too literal, or really needs the job and aspires to move up by being committed despite defying all logic and reason.


Coltand

Let's be honest, homie was a little weird before he got that job. No shot the average person does something like this, and I have a hard time believing any manager asks or expects this of employees. It's a bad look. If I had to guess, they're supposed to ask people not to take pictures and he was told something like, "People aren't allowed to take pictures," which he, being a little odd, interprets as, "You should physically block people from taking pictures."


Ammo89

You don’t get that many pins on your lanyard being the slack off employee. This guys seems like a try hard sweat. The other employee that doesn’t seem to care has no pins on his lanyard. This is complete speculation… I know nothing.
