While on a plane both to and from San Francisco in the past two days, I noticed the following:
There were about 38 rows of seats; so, 72 people at window seats on each side for each trip.
While traveling, I looked up and down the aisles:
Almost everyone had their window shade pulled completely down.

Typing feverishly into their device of choice. (The outside light interfered with their screen.)
Out of @72 windows, there were maybe 5 or 6 shades up. The rest were completely closed.
You're getting an utterly beautiful and utterly rare and special view of THE EARTH and its geology and its wonder---something truly special and hardly ever seen at this angle.
And you are CLOSING YOUR SHADES? In favor of WHAT?
So you can see your latest Instagram post?!
(Myself: I haven't flown in over 10 years, but I was absolutely amazed by all the land-forms between Texas and California: Including the Grand Canyon (on the opposite side of the plane from me, so I missed it), and so many other mountain ranges, as well as the desert straits, and so many other flows that bring wonder: Are these former rivers, former lava flows? What happened here?)
Both pictures below by me. But there were perhaps a hundred more that I could have taken.
The top one is particularly geographically spectacular---what is the name of this?
