I don't know if it's true, but one of the comments says it's been taken off Roku ("Also posting this right after the pro shot was taken off of Roku is really out of touch and insulting considering bootlegs are pretty much the reason for this shows success." ) Many others complain that the proshot is terrible and not good enough because it's not the off-Broadway cast (accents are bad, something, something).

It's very much this energy:

They are very much giving off Veruca vibes

Crybabies whining about access to whatever show they want, when they want it. How about they actually grow up. How about they realize when you are older and make adult money, then you can spend it on tickets or whatever. You don't get to whine until you get a proshot or a bootleg or both. They're greedy whiny entitled babies

100%. So gross."

And heaven forbid you disagree with them, because then you're "entitled" and "don't want people to experience art" and classist, or elitist, or whatever- they need to shut up. "I don't think those words mean what they think they do". They're crybabies.

The pro shot argument has always been a thinly veiled excuse for wanting to be able to access video/audio recordings of multiple casts, first performances back, mishaps, etc.

The people complaining ACTUALLY want bootlegs of every single understudy and replacement no later than their very first performance. There are tiktoks of people pretending to "wait " for a bootleg of a show while the person they want to hear is probably still onstage taking their bows. Long story short, they think it's a stupid law, and they don't think there will be repercussions if they break it. They don't see people go to jail or get fined for recording bootlegs, so they think it's more of a general guideline than literal law, and get pissy and cry "accessibility!"-when really they just want to be able to hear an audio for like, the second cover for Veronica on TikTok before the curtain even comes down. That has nothing to do with a pro shot-it's a very disingenuous argument on their end.

There really isn't an argument for bootlegs that isn't disingenuous. These folks don't really care about accessibility or preservation, the two most common arguments- they just want to see a show for free without leaving their house. 

And even if every show got a pro-shot, these kids aren't gonna be spending a dime on them anyway.

And what really amuses me is they claim they'll pay for a ticket if they have a proshot. You liars.

I agree with this on principle, but I also work in a high school that uses Yondr pouches and I promise you - the clientele of this show know a million ways to get around them!!!
