Welcome to the Unpopular Opinion community!

How voting works:

Vote the opposite of the norm.

If you agree that the opinion is unpopular give it an arrow up. If it's something that's widely accepted, give it an arrow down.

Guidelines:

Tag your post, if possible (not required)

  • If your post is a "General" unpopular opinion, start the subject with [GENERAL].
  • If it is a Lemmy-specific unpopular opinion, start it with [LEMMY].

Rules:

1. NO POLITICS

Politics is everywhere. Let's make this about [general] and [lemmy] - specific topics, and keep politics out of it.

2. Be civil.

Disagreements happen, but that doesn’t provide the right to personally attack others. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Please also refrain from gatekeeping others' opinions.

3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.

Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.

4. Shitposts and memes are allowed but...

Only until they prove to be a problem. They can and will be removed at moderator discretion.

5. No trolling.

This shouldn't need an explanation. If your post or comment is made just to get a rise with no real value, it will be removed. You do this too often, you will get a vacation to touch grass, away from this community for 1 or more days. Repeat offenses will result in a perma-ban.

Instance-wide rules always apply. https://legal.lemmy.world/tos/

I see no point of taking pictures of monuments or tourist spots. (lemmy.world)

Let alone including yourself in the picture. I know how you look like.

Let alone including your loved ones in the picture.

Even when their disappointment of having to face away from the monument is clearly visible in the photo.

And then you make them do stuff like 'hold the sun in your hands' or whatever.

So what if you know what I look like, I'm taking the picture for me, not for you.

Not sure how old you are, but you sound young. Unless you've got a photographic memory, your recollection of things will start to fade, and those pictures will bring back memories you've forgotten. I've been traveling consistently for around 20 years now, and the photos are so precious. It's not about capturing a monument you can look at from other photos, it's about capturing you in that time as you were.
