Seriously, who needs to record someone without the knowledge of the person being recorded? That’s a big red flag, a perverted character, there’s no other explanation. Creepy Mark Zuckerberg allowed other creepy characters to share personal moments with him.
To specifically your point about geysers… I mean I do get it, kind of. We only feel like we need a recording of it because it’s now. If you’d gone 70 years ago you could literally just see it, know you saw it, know it was awesome and cherish the memory. But now we’ve been conditioned to require proof. For ourselves or social media, the outcome is the same. I travel a moderate amount and have seen amazing things. I have a small number of pictures from each trip because I just want to experience the feeling of it. That being said, it is nice to get a photos notie of a past trip and take the memory lane journey. But it never ruins my day when they don’t show up. Ya know?
