For hobbyists? I guess it's fun for them, you know? They can capture cool footage of their vacations or whatever. But honestly, it's become so common that it's not special anymore. It's like, everyone's a drone pilot now.

Honestly, I'm not sure. I mean, training sessions might help with understanding the technology better, but if the product keeps failing, no amount of training is going to make me loyal. It's the reliability that's the biggest issue for me.
