Live photos is the worst thing ever

I can't STAND Live photos, and I do try to keep them turned off with "preserve settings" enabled. And yet, on a regular basis I apparently must accidentally hit the Live photo button which enables it again, and which I don't notice until another couple hundred photos have been taken.

Why, oh why, isn't there a way to PERMANENTLY get rid of this thing so that even accidental touches won't re-enable it? Apple, are you listening? Are there others who feel this way?

Thanks!

The problem is that apparently I accidentally hit the circle on the camera screen, which starts Live photo again, and then Live photo on is "preserved." (Which I don't notice until hundreds of photos later) I would love some way to make the Live photo circle icon disappear, or be in hidden in a menu or something. IMHO, the worst thing that has ever appeared on an Iphone.

Completely agree this the worst feature ever. I can’t stand that there is no option to either have it on or turn it off. I have tried to disable it completely and it keeps turning on no matter what I do. I wish apple would fix this issue.
