People who watch literal recordings of movies from inside a movie theater are psychopaths who really, really don't care about quality. I highly doubt they are the target audience of movie ticket sales.
I buy movie tickets and I also watch cams. Sometimes I watch before, because I can't make it to the theater yet, sometimes afterwards so I can have a repeat watch. Sometimes I watch and the movie is trash, so I save money to spend on a different one. Sometimes the cam rips aren't good enough to watch, other times, they are near DVD quality.
I have been watching cams and going to the movie theater since the 90s and I doubt that will change, but I never understand the hatred aimed at people who watch cams. Why bash on people who are enjoying something that you do not?
At this point it's just a meme. I mean I definitely don't get it, but I have nothing against you as a person lol.
