10000 people did that -- for a few weeks on their vacations.

Now 1000000000 do that. Every fucking moment (e.g. Instagraming your food).

For what it's worth, I love food and cooking and I'm delighted when my friends post food pictures on Instagram and Facebook. It inspires my hobby.

It has been calculated that it delights about ten of all those picture recipients worldwide.

Just to add to this, I saw a picture of the parking lot on Clingman's Dome in the Smoky mountains the other day, and thought "Holy shit, that is a lot of people, it wasn't like that when I was frequenting the park". Back then (not even that long ago) I remember the goal was to be on top when no one else was, and I succeed frequently, and have the pictures to show for it.

The population is doubling every 33 years, and that means everything is getting a lot more congested, because new landmarks aren't being created at anything like those rates.
