Time brings always changes. Yes, social media brings too a lot of worrys.
For me is the biggest problem, that they are not regulated, each year more % of the world population are using social media to "read the news".
After the cambridge analytics scandal, after censorship of a leaving president we can just guess about the power behind of social media. It even can kills the loved democracy in many different ways. But that seems another chapter.
Recently I wrote about
Eva Beck who is a travel vlogger who starts too overlanding by 4x4 at 2021. With the amount of Views/Like/Comments we can assume that she earns around 110'000 Euro a month.
Is what we do all day from morning to night just a hobby or our work? We should consider to look after it - as a new profession.
Compared to Eva are the most well etablished social media travellers like Dan Grec or GrizzlyNbear - just beginners. But even they - live from sharing their trips on social media - or are sharing their experiences.
Everyone as he likes. We dont have to watch it, if we dont like it.

We can just go out and travel, without having to edit videos and vlogs.
Like Turbofurball wrote, those "good old days" - can be remembered too very very differently.
