  I feel like it’s unfair to attribute all the crowd behaviors to a simple game, especially as these spawn must have been random.

There can be efforts made into limiting the ill effects, but bursts in popularity are hard to plan for. The systemic issue would be people not giving a shit about society rules. https://youtu.be/ucyia07AlMk https://youtu.be/ucyia07AlMk

  That clip sure is crazy, but how does it show substantial risk? It's a lot of people crossing the street to enter a public park, and one person parking behind another stopped car and exiting his car. If you have a mass gathering, surely Central Park is one of the best suited locations for it. Technically, crossing the street like this might be illegal in the US, but it doesn't seem to endanger anyone.
