Not to want to see your your entire holiday on Facebook

[SirGawain]

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.

Don't look then 🤷🏻‍♀️ 🙄

Reason I no longer use Facebook. Full of braggers and people who fake wonderful lives.

it’s ok, I’ve got a hot tub too but not a fan of bits of driftwood with motivation slogans on so I don’t think I fit squarely in to the MN box either!

yeah, 75 & 400 is oddly specific.
I like to see people I care about having fun.

Radical, but there you are.
I snooze the ones who say evangelical pushiness. One of my relatives has gone vegan recently, I'm only just holding off urge to snooze her.

I'm on holiday;a family member is house sitting to look after my kitten;I'm paying them a nominal amount for each day and they get the peace and quiet not available at their house.

A few photos, fine. Seventy-five? That's excessive. They can do what they want, but I'd put them on snooze. Unless they are amazing photographers, few will want to see that many photos of their holiday.

Maybe their FB photos are for their own enjoyment. I have a blog filled with photos that is mostly for my own use. Others may follow, but I don't expect anyone to care. It's something I like scrolling through every so often. Convenient to access from any device.

Scroll on by.
If they're uploading 75 then you'll get a block of four with +71 on the last one, takes a second to pass it, not like you have to scroll past each photo.

I mean don’t look! However I agree who cares. I rarely use FB except for very occasionally to find birthdays etc I saw recently someone I know had posted 150 scenic photos from a trip to Scotland. I looked at about 5 and they were pretty boring but nice enough. I have no idea what she hoped to get out of it 🤷🏼‍♀️

😂

Awww, bless. I’m sure your week in butlins is every bit as good.

I love holiday photos - can see ideas of places to visit. Also like seeing friends having a nice time. What would you rather they post on FB, passive aggressive memes?

Isn't that what Facebook is for? People can use their page however they like. I never understand these moaning threads about what people post about on Facebook. Just scroll past.

OP, has your friend been in touch to confront you? Sounds like they recognised the situation earlier.

If you don’t want to see it don’t look?!

When people put up huge albums I seldom loom at the whole thing - but I don't care that they've done it. I prefer a few shots and so also take that approach when posting. Each to their own.

A few people on my feed recently have started doing collages which is quite nice - 2 or 3 pictures to scroll but more of the holiday. I was a bit frustrated though when I tried to zoom in on a group picture to see how an old friend is looking and couldn't as it was just one small image on a collage! 😆😆

What puzzles me is do these friends actually think we will look through 75 of their pictures?

They tend to be prolific posters that document every minute of their lives.

I have a cousin that will post minimum 20 pictures of the first day of term. Not year. Term. It’s bizarre, and you can tell her kids are getting more and more reluctant to pose 😂

Of course you don't have to look at them but I agree with you op, i think it's weird to put up dozens of photos at a time.

But why do you think anyone wants to see 75 holiday photos? The idea of Facebook is so friends and family can see what you’re up to it’s not a show reel.
Would you make anyone share 75 photos in your living room? No, so why put them on a social sharing site.

Some people have no filter or self awareness. I like seeing interesting photos of new places but the same selfies over and over undistinguishable from each other or photos of a glass of wine or a non discript meal are so boring.

I am also amazed when they post hundreds each day actually on the holiday, it's a bit sad imagining them spending all that lovely family time on their phone uploading pictures for likes. At least wait til you get home and pick the 20 best from the 200 daily shots.

Facebook is like a diary. Something you can look back on in years to come. If someone wants to put 997 photos of their holiday on it, then good for them. These are happy memories for that person, not for you to sneer at.

My mum would absolutely look at every single photo for a family member or close friend. Some people do. Why does it matter - you can scroll past.

It's people who put 50 individual posts on Instagram that drive me mad - because each post is standalone I have to see them all! I lose free will!

Invalidates insurance?!?!? Hahahaha

I post a lot of my photos on social media. A couple of years ago I lost my dad. The photos are a great comfort to me. It's nice when memories come up.

Would you make anyone share 75 photos in your living room? No, so why put them on a social sharing site.

It's impossible to make people view photos on FB, especially 75 of them.

One or two will come up with '+75' and if you want to view them you click on them.

If you don't, you just scroll past like most people would.

I once posted 200 something pics of our holiday.
