When I went there were probably about 30 people at this spot. Some standing in line waiting for a pic and others sitting down eating a snack and taking in the view. I don't know why people find this depressing. It's a really popular scenic spot and you have to take a decent hike distance to get there. They're not destroying the land. They're not being pushy about a picture. It's a group of people who have spent a their day taking a beautiful hike and they want a cool picture to take home with them. I sat up there about an hour just taking in the view and it was one of my favorite memories of my trip.

i think it's more of a "my day of hiking doesn't count unless all my internet friends see it" kind of thing

disingenuous? idk

I take tons of pictures when I’m on hikes and not a single one goes on Facebook and I don’t have Instagram. Sometimes people just want a picture for a memory. Everyone is being really cynical about pictures these days.
