May I remind that iPhone can’t remove the crowds from tourism photos, so all Android users have memories without crowds. So, in a goldrush, sell dirt.

There's a thing I didn't know I was missing.

Although I am an Android user, I am not enough of a narcissist to need to remove the crowds from my tourism photos. So, not all Android users have photos without crowds.

Yeah I mean... I take a lot of joy in the random yet specific faces in those places I visited long ago. It's an important part of the memory for me.

Having a clear background used to be difficult/expensive, so a photo where you appear to have exclusive access to the area is a high social signal.

Now that it’s cheap and easy, those kind of photos will lose its signal.

Everyday Syndrome is proven right.
