I agree.
It is like popular music concerts that are ruined by the hordes of mongs who stand slack-jawed and drooling, gazing at their iPhone screens as they film it. They detract from the atmosphere and are not "there". God knows why they even bought tickets - they could see it all on You Tube from the sofa.
