Social media creates the conflict that shames people for documenting their moments. In days before the Internet, there are several instances of people photographing themselves in front of monuments and other things, If you check out "old school cool" on reddit, that becomes apparent (for those who weren't there). Now, social media pays people for becoming celebrities, so the culture is a lot more staged as a result... It's not the fault of people who otherwise catalogue their activities and travels, so this should always be kept in proper perspective. Social media rewards vapid, ignorant, and self-obsessed behavior in tech bloggers and politicians as much as it does wealthy teenagers that do nothing more but filming their daily self-absorbed excess within their lifestyles. Normal and aspiring creators share the photos for those that care in hopes of being discovered, but most of the time they're off the platform's scripts, so they don't get promoted at all by the platform. It's the corporately engineered algorithms that should be blames for presenting personality/brand based (staged) content to most of us on purpose whenever we ritually don't like the content. If you don't like content that is not based on personality, start clicking "like" on stuff that isn't popular, and not based on the common ego-driven social media tropes... Also stop supporting things that make social media bias, personality cults, and consumerist/psychological manipulation popular... TikTok literally tells platform users what kind of content to create, that way they shape most of the experience on the platform into most of the repetitive "personality-driven" drivel that we see promoted on it (on purpose) all the time.
