It's kind of funny that there's an old trope of people showing friends or strangers slides from their vacations or pictures of their kids from their wallet and the friends kind of awkwardly feigning interest.
Not much has changed with social media. If I had to guess, many people that get pictures of kids shared with them like and comment out of politeness, not genuine interest. So I don't get why the collateral damage of also sharing those pictures with Mark Zuckerberg and various ad companies is worth it.
- duxup 3y agoI actually like seeing other people’s photos.
- averagepersonn 3y agoYou are the majority in my experience. People like other people. If you don’t care about your close friends’ lives, they aren’t your close friends.
- brewdad 3y agoI have many good friends and family members that I now live 1000+ miles away from. I might go years without meeting up with them face to face. Sharing photos and experiences helps to keep us closer than we might otherwise be. I also think there’s a huge difference between scrolling through a few dozen pictures on my terms vs being trapped in a slide show in someone’s home.
