Commiserations.
I think the problem is Wheeze when drones are used like some extra, extra, long selfie stick - look at me/us!!
Perhaps licensing them and having a set of legal rules, best practice guidance may temper their proliferation and ensure their more positive, responsible use like for photography, land surveying, covering sporting events, etc.. They can also have other very positive usages, like for searching during mountain rescues, etc.
