Drone flying.
There are far too many idiots out there that are downright dangerous, annoying, and ignorant. I worked on the "rescue helicopter"(HEMS) in the past and basically everyone of my former colleagues can come up with various near-misses. The rules are god damn easy,the smaller licences are easy to get and if you use a (free!) App for the tricky questions (flight areas) combined with some common sense you're good.
But people willfully don't do that.
Combine that with the massive rise in hybrid warfare drones here(Central Europe) and I have absolutely zero desire to continue with that hobby.
Funny enough it was a discussion I had here on lemmy (with another account) that was the final nail for me.
A group of posters basically refused to use a (free and GDPR compliant) flight area app as it was only available on Playstore, the web app (which is explicitly provided as an alternative) could not be used as it's source code was not provided (whut?) and therefore it's not their fault when they fly into a marked HEMS approach zone in a hospital.
Yeah. I don't want to associated with these people.
