What about the consideration of proving you were there? Or another way to phrase it, being able to “show, not tell”.
With social media to take account for, it seems that many of our interactions online are very similar to the story of Narcissus but from the perspective of the nymph Echo who couldn’t speak up while watching Narcissus fall in love with himself more and more.
There’s definitely a difference of your average Instagram selfie in a unique location vs. an “influencer” taking professional photos at a unique location. The latter tends to be more focused on the obsession of the physical appearance. A selfie just happens to be convenient. You watch influencers fall in love with themselves and as they become bigger and more famous, your voice becomes muted in the sea of comments, likes, and sponsorships they obtain.
