    It’s no longer about seeing the small picture we’ve seen hundreds of times.

    It’s about showing their followers and friends on social media that they were physically there to take a picture of a portrait that everyone has seen hundreds of times.

    Social media is killing our species.

      Oh, I remember going to the Louvre well before Social Media and back then most people around the Mona Lisa were, just like nowadays, far more worried about taking pictures of it than actually just enjoying it.

      IMHO, people always tended to be weird around famous shit and famous people.

      It wasn’t social media that made most people be like that. Most likely it’s the reverse: social is successful because most people are like that.
