If you post holiday photos to social media ...

[holbolllol]

How many are acceptable?

A few per day of the holiday

A single post of a certain number per weekend or week

If you don't share your holiday snaps, why not?

I prefer to see my friends and family holidays snaps of where they have been and what they have done one as a matter of interest and two in case it's somewhere I'd also like to go.

I prefer to see all the snaps in one post with about 10-15 for a weekend and 15-25 for a week.

They are on Google photos too. It's another free back-up.

I have friends who will upload twice as many and they're all cocktails and pool selfies. Uninteresting to me but no skin off my nose that they don't interest me any more than I'm sure hardly anyone's interested in my aforementioned prehistoric temples.

I thinks it's due to some type of snobbery around it but I don't understand the psychology behind it to explain in any detail.

I wouldn't share them I think (I cannot afford a holiday so it's a different scenario) but I find them often really just a show-off show esp if there are loads every day. nobody is interested in your holiday that much. post them on the family WhatsApp group instead
who said no ones interested? I love my friends and families holiday snaps especially when they have gone off the beaten path.

Depends how many good photos I got, but usually between 5-10 from a week's holiday. Probably wouldn't bother for just a weekend, unless it was something very exciting/ usual.

To clarify when I said 60-70 for a week I meant for a week's holiday, not every week! That would be madness. I don't post any photos generally other than post holiday.

I don't post pictures of holidays.
I only really post pictures of my dog and I'm sure everyone is really intersested to see them.

Ooh yes I’ve heard some people get badly constipated when on holiday…

(sorry couldn’t resist 😆)

I like looking at people’s holiday photos 🤷‍♀️ If I don’t want to look, I just scroll past (the post will say +30 photos or whatever, not show all 30 straight off, so you can choose whether to click or not). It takes probably under a minute to scroll through an album, it’s interesting to look at what people have been up to, what the country/scenery looks like, see their kids having fun, what the food has been like.

I'm nosy AF, so I want a blow by blow account of everyone's day on stories 😂.

The more the merrier from my point view,

Your home adress would be useful and your return flight number too.

I never, ever do it. I'm not on Facebook, but I am on X and Insta.
It just looks very "me, me, me" and not fair on those friends who may not be able to have a holiday, for whatever reason.
It's also rather an assumption that anyone might want to see a load of unsolicited photos.
Plus putting on a public site would advertise my absence from home, so that's not very smart.
If a friend or two express an interest, I might send a couple of photos on What's App.
Also, I don't know anyone who does this, so I would most definitely be the odd one out! (Perhaps this is connected to not being on Facebook?).

Once we are home so we don’t get burgled - I never announce we are going away on SM. around half a dozen.

I rarely post apart from holidays really. I like looking at other people's holiday pics as well for idea's on where we might like to add to our travel list! I only have friends and relatives on my insta. I also like being able to flick into my photos on insta easily and enjoy seeing a catalogue of our travels. I don't see the point of having social media never to use it. If people aren't keen on your posts they can always unfollow!

My ‘friends’ list is full of casual acquaintances I’ve never really known all that well but don’t have the heart to actually unfriend. I definitely couldn’t say confidently that I know they’d all be interested in my holiday. I therefore wouldn’t post anything. But that’s me and obviously others’ situations are different.

i like seeing what my family are up to aswell.

So scroll past, as you say. You can only see the first few unless you deliberately look. Why should someone use a different storage method to avoid you thinking WTF?

Prehistoric and Maltese temple are not (to my shame) words I would have put together.

Off to Google Pics I go (since I can’t access your SM!).

After I have been

I never post anything showing I am out of my house, including day trips. We don't go away much, so might add up to 10 pics when I get back. If I see other people post 50 photos at once I probably won't even start scrolls through as I jslust can't be arsed with that many. I do enjoy seeing their pics though, just in smaller volumes.

I’m away abroad right now . We’re fortunate in that we get to come here multiple times a year. Don’t post anything.

Largely because I don’t want to come across as a show off and also because I don’t want anyone knowing my business. To add , I don’t think it’s especially necessary to post , especially when I know of families who cannot even afford one holiday.

Just my opinion. Horses for courses and all that.

Why do they all have to be interested? Maybe some are. The ones who aren’t can scroll past. If they are casual acquaintances I don’t suppose they are interested in anything you do- best not post at all.

I haven’t done for several years now.

I don’t post anything until I’m home as it would invalidate my home insurance - basically announcing to the world of social media that my house is empty.

My accounts are locked down but loose lips and all that….

I post a handful of scenery type photos without us in them as my family don’t want to be online. I send photos with us in to family whatsapp group chat as everyone is okay with that knowing they won’t be shared further.

I also didn’t know there were pre-historic temples in Malta and have just been googling this- very interesting to find out about, thanks @DappledThings!
Would love to see a Facebook friend’s photos of pre-historic Maltese temples.

How many are acceptable?

As many as Facebook allows. Why would that not be ok?
No one is forced at gunpoint to look. I don't count their Likes.
People can mute me if I'm boring them. I am not offended if they mute me.
