People post fewer photos, but that shouldn't be confused with having less of an influence on social culture.

Now each post carries much more weight, and therefor is more heavily curated to show that person's perfect life.

It goes further than that though. I know people who wait for a specific hour on Sunday to post their weekly photo because they know that most people check their instagram then and therefor will get them the most likes.

In fact people are going on more adventures and trying more restaurants, which we can argue is a net positive, but it really taints the experience and makes it hard for me to support when so much of the motivation for doing so revolves around taking that perfect picture to share on instagram.

I try not to be a counter-culture cynical critic, but dang.
