Daily Complaining About Sunsets Thread: 01/02/19

I browse r/losangeles on Apollo, which loads images automatically on the front page ( think hoverzoom for mobile) so every single one of those pics loads on my phone and I have to scroll by them to get to the other interesting stuff.

It takes a lot of screen real eastate on my phone. Thats the real reason sunset pics are annoying to me. And the occassional sunset pic doesn't bother me.... but I feel like once I've seen 3 angles of the exact same sunset, each concurrent sunset angle that day annoys me more and more... When it comes to those days where half the posts in r/LA are sunsets... it starts to annoy me, ya know?

So I was out of town last week visiting the closest of my relatives... In that area my carrir didn't operate but it had subcontracted with another carrier.... Normally in LA I have unlimited internet on my phone, but over there I was limited to .5gigs per day.

It was amazing to see how fast I burned through half a gig in a day. I wasn't even watching videos! I'd avoid videos and music, or streaming of any kind and still burn through half a gig before the day is done. This is the day of my last sunset pic complaint post.... I went through half a gig scrolling past all of those sunset pics. It's got to be infuriating for those of us not on unlimited data plans or have no wifi at their home. And yes, I recognize how "first world problem" this is.

Thanks for listening.

Can we have a separate complaints about DTLA shots taken from the 110 overpass with very long exposure thread?

Semi related: Is it me or has the sun been going down a little later lately? Normally we don't see sunlight past 5pm until February-March.

Can someone post a shitty picture of a LA sunset? Oh wait that's what the other thread is for.

We should have a competition of the worst sunset shot which still has some element of sunset in it.

Slightly better than those pictures that shout, "look at me on top of this rooftop thinking in deep thought."

people were honking like crazy behind me as i was in the left turn lane snapping pictures as i knew i could not make it to a parking spot and get back in the street. they could have been honking as they were trying to take the same picture i was and i was in their way. oh.. that was taken with my cell phone.. a Samsung Galaxy Note 2.

Y'all should create two separate posts exactly like these two titled the following:

1- Upvote this post if you want to keep sunsets inside r/losangeles

2- Upvote this post if you want all sunset posts in one thread or subreddit.

If 1 wins then all sunset complainers must refrain from complaining for a period of 2 years. Then if 2 wins create 2 more threads titled:

1- Upvote this post if you want sunset pics to have their own subreddit.

2- Upvote this post if you want sunset pics to have their own daily thread.

That's what I'd do if I were admin. This is a major subreddit decision. That way, people complaining about sunset pics can shut up about it for a year or two. I'm well aware that I'm one of the people that would be shutting up about it, and I'm ok with that.
