I don't understand why so many folks are compelled by ephemeral photo sharing, even while I'm happy for those that want it to have it. It's just not for me. First of all, the older I get, the more precious memories are because frankly, I'm forgetting more and more and it terrifies me. I don't understand why something that was worth sharing today needs to be gone tomorrow. What if I was busy that day? What if I want to see it again tomorrow? What if I'm at a party three weeks later and want to show somebody your funny puppy photo? Second, if you think about it, it's often the most casual, lo-fi and accidental shots that end up carrying the most authentic value. Quick snaps that you don't know are "last photos with" at the time. People pass unexpectedly; too bad all of the pictures of them were set to fucking evaporate. Third, if something is truly not photographed with enough intention or effort to keep it around for more than 24 hours... was it really worth sharing in the first place? Finally, it's super weird to me that people don't assume that anything downloaded or displayed can be captured. In fact, having something set to self-destruct in a day probably means that people are more likely to save a copy locally than they would if you just left it there.
