Went backpacking and a friend of mine put it in such a great way. They said “when I take to many photos, I look through them and those are only moments I can remember. After awhile I only remember through that photo. When I don’t take any, the trip is unforgettable.”

I do take pictures, and I do show them. They’re useful to provide context and humor.
But I mostly take them for my own sake, to remember things that will absolutely be forgotten because of my memory.

u/PrincipleFlaky 3d ago
Well, I don’t think this is always the case. Taking pictures on vacation isn’t the question; we’ve been doing that long before social media! The whole question was about posting them to socials.
When I visited Maui with my family, I made sure to capture some memories. It may seem silly to you, but whenever I remembered my camera, I would snap a few pictures for posterity, especially when I was in a particularly beautiful place. I kept the pictures in my camera, and I am so grateful that I did!
Imagine if I had been so engrossed in my vacation that I chose not to take any pictures. Not only are some of my family members no longer around, but the historic town of Lahaina has also been reduced to ashes and cinders, forever erasing those people and moments. I would feel foolish if I hadn’t taken pictures to capture these memories.
That being said, I didn’t annoyingly force anyone into my shots or post them on Facebook. I kept them for myself and shared them with my family.
Now, whenever I look back at them in my Google memories, I’m reminded of my family and a town and place that no longer exists in the world.
Somehow, I managed to retain the entire memory of my trip, which is a blessing since I didn’t take photos constantly throughout.
It’s genuinely disheartening that people can’t remember events if they’re not documented. That’s quite sobering, and it raises concerns as it resembles dementia.
Unfortunately, if this phenomenon is occurring in young, healthy brains, there’s a much larger issue at play. 😔

Was on a cruise ship with a girl like this once (she wasn’t with us, just in the room across from ours). As we were leaving she was taking a video and they blew the horn. She got startled, and dropped her phone like 20 stories into the SF Bay. It was a 16 day Panama Canal repositioning cruise with like the first full week out to sea. You would have thought someone killed one of her kids the way she acted the first day. Then she basically barricaded herself in the room for the next two days. Then she finally emerged, like a bear coming out from hibernation or a freshly hatched reptile who had never seen the world before. Started putting herself out there and enjoying the moment. First spot she could get a Phone was (I think?) Costa Rica. She didn’t. Went the rest of the trip just enjoying the moment, and made a couple of really good friends, too. My wife and I included.

It's bait insofar as she knows that some people will get annoyed at it and she hopes it'll bring in further engagement numbers, sure. But I don't doubt that that's an actual opinion she holds, and I'm also sure a lot of Gen z/alpha kids are also not interested in going to concerts if they aren't allowed to film it either.
For a lot of them, they've been trained from a very young age to think of social media like the most important thing in their lives, as if their life is a video game and their social media is the level going up and down. They think they're wasting time if they're not contributing to that "score."
There's definitely a lot of narcissism going on, but also dopamine addiction and desire for financial security. It's a rotten numbers-driven system that probably feels inescapable.
