I don't think they were scrolling. They were recording, which I think is a very very different thing from doom scrolling addiction.

But man that sucks, there should be a phone free zone in the concert.

Which would prevent prevent people from snapping 1-2 pictures per band in a 4h concert, which I would kinda not like. Maybe it would improve the experience enough though, or you'd have to move to the bar area and take your one pic there.

Yeah I don't mind people taking their "I was there" pic. Sometimes I just want something to be in my camera roll to prompt a memory in 5 years. What I don't understand is 200 people all holding their phone up to take the same terrible quality video as each other of an event that will be recorded professionally from every angle anyways. Certainly no way would I ever watch back a 1 hour DJ set if I recorded that on a personal phone.
