Facebook 'Friend' who I get on well with is on holiday abroad. They just posted 75 holiday snaps on Facebook AIBU to think this is excessive. Incidentally they have dozens of random "Friends" so they've just told the world that the house is empty so please burgle it.
AIBU?
Not to want to see your your entire holiday on Facebook

I'd just scroll by, maybe a half second sympathy that this friend can't be present on the holiday.
Ha ha! Comments like these always amuse me.
Like the posters are claiming that you can't enjoy a holiday if you have a spare 2-3 minutes to upload some photographs. It takes so little time to upload a post!
Do you seriously not have any chilling time in your holiday days?
I'm currently away. Had some busy city days, some longer 'adventure' days and today is a chilling by the pool morning. Dh and Dd are in the pool. I was reading and then got distracted by a large lizard strolling by so picked my phone up for a snap picture, then sat for 10 minutes reading a bit of news online, checking the weather forecast and then scanned briefly on MN. We often have a spare few minutes whilst the rest of us are showering or getting changed, whilst sat in the balcony or by the pool, during a train journey when moving locations, etc. I don't believe anyone goes in holiday and never has any spare time whatsoever!

I do this too, I store all my favourite photos on facebook, so I can look back at them myself rather than for others.
If I'd started now I'd probably use google pics or amazon prime storage instead, but I started doing it on facebook years before those were available and can't be arsed changing over 16 years worth of photos now. I'm not forcing anyone to look.
Also, I only have people I like as friends on facebook, I enjoy looking at their photos.

I also use mine Like a photo albums.
But that means one of 2 posts with a comment then 50 added to an album. People can ignore the album very easily.

I hate it when people are judgy about what is posted on FB. That's the very purpose & intention of FB - it's reason for existing. If you don't like it, don't use it...or at the very least unfollow anyone who irritates you!

No. They assume that people who have actively chosen to look at their updates wnat to see their updates.
Bizarre and unselfaware is you choosing to look at their updates and then being fucking horrible about your friends and family, when you're the one with the issue

How about don't want to see everything you do every day on Facebook and not want to see every cafe or pub you stop off on holiday for a drink at
Some ppl are addicted to posting every little thing on FB. It's sad and has time to read it all etc.

"Yes definitely, taking 900 photos instead of enjoying it."
900? Exaggerating much? You know it's possible to take photographs and enjoy yourself at the same time.
Yesterday we did something new and I took photographs (and posted them to Facebook for my family and friends to see). We had the most amazing time and I'll look back on the photos happily - when they pop up as a memory and I'll print some for a scrapbook too.
Between us we took around 50 photos. I posted 20 of them. We spent 6 hours there. Trust me when I say we thoroughly enjoyed it despite managing to snap a few photos
