culture in the post-ticket-scarcity era

Hey everyone! Challenging Burn for me this year, but also really special. I had some of my favorite moments on Playa this burn, really grateful for my two weeks out there.

I noticed some things this burn that made me a little worried for the future of the event- 4:30 and D portos were my home shitter, found cans crushed in urinals and at least a dozen full piss jugs just left. Generally noted more moop everywhere. (shout out to Dumpster and the crew running the Portal Porto, loved everything y'all were doing)

Noticed a resurgence of head-dresses, I know the reddit burner community is probably mixed on this one, but I thought we decided this wasnt cool.

Also didn't experience any theft personally on playa, but seeing a lot about that on reddit the last couple days.

Wanted to start a thread to discuss. Any other concerning behavior people saw? How do we acculturate new burners (curious for Census data on vets vs virgins this year)? Will we miss ticket scarcity as a filter for people that really put in effort to understand the burn and it's values?
