It’s easy to hate on people for wanting to go to a place they’ve seen in a photo and to focus on the fact that they want the same photo there... I think that’s a casual knee-jerk reaction. The impulse to have a destination while traveling isn’t a new one, and people have been taking photos for decades upon decades. The problem is that we now have a platform that concentrates attention so efficiently on the 20% of attractions anywhere someone might go. I don’t know the solution, but shaking our heads at people for wanting to experience the world they live in (even if they aren’t doing it to our creative standards) isn’t going to help, and seems to be how a lot of articles about this topic bait peoples’ attention and ire.
