      Yeah the internet can cause too many people in the same place easily. I’ve often come to the conclusion if I find some interesting obscure thing to just shut up about it.

        Exactly take my pictures but don’t reveal the location. Or better don’t show them to anyone or even take pictures.

          I re-save any pictures I post online in a very old image editing program that strips the metadata. It’s a hassle but I think worth it.

            Fyi there are apps and online tools just for removing metadata. Also many sites (but not all) automatically remove metadata from uploaded images. For example imgur does that. But if your way works and is no hassle then keep on keepin on.

              Yeah mainly just remembering to remove the metadata is the hassle. Upload sites might say they do it but I will never 100% trust that they don’t keep some part of it.

        Yeah, this is exactly what’s happening with national parks. People are going simply to post pictures to social media and causing overcrowding.
