@WashedOutGundamPilot @pepsi_man I suspect that social media has made this a much more common occurrence, where everyone who wants to seek attention finds different ways to do it. Having "hobbies" that look good with pictures is one example.
Another annoying example is women who "love to travel," but also only do any excursions for the sake of taking pictures and do nothing more with their time once the pictures are taken.
