Perhaps this is only my personal experience and what I experience is due to purely my personal issues or views. However, I tend to agree with you that 'more reward with less effort' psyche seems to thrive there.@denmarkguy I have shied away from social media for years. Was horrified of the shallowness of the whole interaction I saw on Facebook. Especially the 'selfie mania'. It has turned into an orgy of showing others how happy and cute or sexy and wealthy we are through those selfies and getting a self esteem boost through likes! I have seen people get so pumped up on likes that they do not focus at all on any REAL achievements in real life. I took to posting my wildlife images on Facebook and Instagram because some of my buddies advised me that it will help me get feedback and get suggestions about my photography. Alas - I found out that suggestions and positive criticism (or even negative criticism) is the last thing that people do. There are mostly like for like and follow for follow kind of shallow reactions.
Lovely pictures too by the way. Kudos.
