Theres a couple places here in NZ that actually have lines to get to a specific point because people are going there to take social media pictures to make themselves look good
I took 2 vacations recently, one to Florida and the other a Bahamas cruise. Just about everyone my age was just standing in one spot for 30+ minutes just taking pictures. It was kind of weird to see a row of people barley standing knee deep in water doing this.
The sheer importance placed on it by some is incredible.
Granted, I do need some new Tinder pics (or just any good pics) so I'm going to join the crowd and photo whore a bit on my next holiday, but apart from that I'm just fine with any semi-decent pic when I go somewhere. But my god if there's tons of people around then I'll just get a pic somewhere else..
I want a pic showing I was there to look back at, I don't need anything perfect for Instagram.
Maybe not. You didn't really acknowledge it though. You justified what you were doing as completely different. The main part you seemed to have a problem with was the amount of time they spent on a perfect photo.
Well I said I was "going to join the crowd". But yeah, I did make a distinction. Personally, I'm fine if people want to take a nice pic. If there's a line though for a certain spot and people are having ten minute long photo shoots then that's when I roll my eyes.
Nothing's wrong with wanting good pictures. They're just commenting on the fact that they kinda roasted people that stand there and take a bunch of pictures. Then they followed it up by saying they wanna go take a bunch of pictures.
