Sharing experiences with other people is generally enjoyable for a lot of people. Simple as that. Instagram, etc. make sharing very very easy. Most people do not like to be alone when doing fun activities (hiking, biking, skateboarding, etc.), and simply have way more fun doing those things with other people. Being able to share photos and video provides or expands on that little pleasure in life. If you're a loner (not saying you are), then this might not make sense to you.
