[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]PSA: if you don’t think travel pictures are worthy of posting on social media—then what do you think is worth posting? [/b]

FWIW, I prefer travel pics to anniversary pics or food pics. Birthday pics are fine, but they really aren’t as interesting as seeing travel pics.

If the haters simply hate everything on social media, then I don’t see how their opinion matters. Social media isn’t mandatory. People who enjoy it would seemingly enjoy travel pics. [/quote]

Yes, I prefer travel pics to reposts of random crap or workout or food pics. I have a friend who posts everything in her entire life. Her life is not very interesting. It is kind of sad actually.[/quote]

I asked the bolded question several pages back and no one answered, which leads me to believe that folks' issue here is with social media in general.  (Well, other than the one wackadoodle poster who is offended by family getaways to the beach and other such horrors.)  Nobody has convincingly explained to me why post about kids doing x, y, z at home = ok, but post of kids playing on beach on vacation = bad.   [/quote]

Maybe it has to do with what reaction you're hoping for. It seems some people post pictures because they're inviting envy, whether picture of kids at home or travel.  The travel pics can be more annoying "look at the beautiful fun vacation I was able to take that you can't afford or while you were home or working".  Let's be honest, some people really are trying to show off their wealth and privilege.  
Not everyone but some.[/quote]
