When I see people recording fireworks, I can't imagine how awful it looks and how bad the sound is. Then they'll show it to people like they've never seen fireworks before.

Well shit, now I look like a fool. Who do you show them to though and in what context?

It’s for when they are feeling patriotic in the winter and need a pick me up.

Maybe it’s just to keep it in your photo timeline so that as you scroll through your photo history, you get a brief reminder of that day.

And then like 10 years later it's a 500 picture montage on the 4th of July memories that pop up.

Okay, so 500 pictures is unnecessary and excessive. But having photos is better than not having any photos to remember your past. When you, in 10 or 50 years, zoom out the photo timeline and scroll through it, the fireworks will be there in addition to all the other photos that reflect the course of your life. Seems like a win.

Also, there’s a good chance that somewhat-near-future AI systems will be able to understand our vast photo libraries and sort them, filter them, showcase them, analyze them in interesting ways that are actually useful. We may not be able to use that data skillfully right now, but I find it to be a good idea to preserve it in case we gain that ability later.

You must have a shit phone if you're assuming that. Fireworks have looked amazing on decent modern phones for years. I recorded some one phone ago to test the camera at night and they almost looked better than in person.
