I can’t say that I immediately grasp the connection between narcissism and the attraction-shading effect. Frankly, if I’m following you on social media while you’re traveling to Paris, I want to see photos of you, not of the Eiffel Tower. I follow very few people on social media, and the people I do follow are all people I care about. They conclude by noting that attractions could lose out on promotional opportunities due to this effect — because people are taking selfies, I suppose? Since when was it the unilateral responsibility of tourists to promote the sites they visit? When I want to see tourist sites, I watch travel documentaries (or better yet go in person). When I open up social media, it is because I want to learn information about the people I care about via selfies, photos, or text updates.
