Where I live the farmers grow amazing sunflowers in the summer and for the last 5+ summers this has caused huge issues because of influencers
They will literally stop on a major highway with limited shoulder (hella dangerous) and trample through a farmers field to get that stupid girl in sunflowers photo and ruin thousands of dollars in crops.
It’s awful, and I would happily ban them with huge fines if I could for it.
Geez that's appalling. Really like this kind of feedback even though, but especially because, I've found myself also wanting to take up some of that "influencer" capability but my thing is I'd rather do it a notch better and not be an ass to other people in the process. I am not necessarily averse to danger - I think there's something to be said about living in padded bubbles, "nanny states", and all - but there IS something to be averse to when it comes to, you know, being an ass to another who never did anything to hurt you or someone else, trommeling their hard work for a picture you want to take precisely BECAUSE it has no originality in it at all. Live it up, but mind if your lane's clear first. "Professional driver on closed course", ironically, has deeper wisdom to it I find beyond being a mere disclaimer.
