I hope not. It was interesting the first few times I saw it, mostly because of the complications of coordinating all those drones in formation, and a bit in the capital expenses required to set it up. But I don't really find any enjoyment from watching a bunch of drones make simple slow moving animations in the sky.

Its like digital watches, impressive the first few times it is accomplished, but now that they are pretty easy to find and you can see a demonstration of it working without much effort, I don't see much point in seeking it out nor have any desire in watching it work.

Considering the alternative in question is fireworks, which have been in use for literally thousands of years, not being "interesting" is a questionable argument.

Fireworks offer visceral enjoyment because it's explosions overhead. Drones don't offer this but they do have a "wow" factor for their novelty. Now that the novelty is wearing off there's little left to actually enjoy.

The absence of explosions makes drone shows much more enjoyable for some people. Explosions are also the reason fireworks are banned and/or regulated in lots of places most of the time.

I've built a handful of drones but hovering LEDs making lawn trimmer noises is not a replacement for blinding flashes and deafening booms.

That's an interesting graph, how long before "boring after repetitions"? Feels like an XKCD exploration.

What is your opinion about fireworks? Maybe you were not part of the audience to begin with?
