It's kinda sad. But my girlfriend now chooses places similarly. She goes on instagram and looks for good looking pictures and suggest that we go there.
I'm trying to make her spend less time on the app, but it's one of the apps she by default goes to when she is bored.
- et-al 9y agoThere's nothing wrong with browsing for beautiful places. Travel magazines, especially the ones in the back of your airplane seat, do this. However Instagram adds a "keeping up with the Joneses" dimension to it with everyone taking selfies that does make things unhealthy. Are you traveling somewhere because you're actual curious about the culture and history, or because it'll add good content on your IG? BrooklynCartoons does a spot on job of critiquing our current "culture": https://www.instagram.com/p/Bfym2nunhbX/?taken-by=brooklyncartoons https://www.instagram.com/p/Bfym2nunhbX/?taken-by=brooklynca... https://www.instagram.com/p/Bg_0TIKnvae/?taken-by=brooklyncartoons https://www.instagram.com/p/Bg_0TIKnvae/?taken-by=brooklynca...
- instatempacc 9y agoGreat cartoons. Ironical to use Instagram to show how toxic the 'gram culture has become.
- mr_spothawk 9y agoIANAT - if you're feeling like it's sad that your gf is finding places to eat, you can also suggest your alternatives or find a diff gf. takin' folks for granted isn't very nice, tho
- instatempacc 9y agoI'm feeling sad because she wants to go those places because she could take pictures to post. As I said, I think this is toxic in the longer run and I'm trying in my own way to get her not so much make the decisions based on what looks good on instagram.
