RE: War Against Selfies in Travel Blogs

in Rant, Complain, Talk4 days ago

Hahah very funny this post. I also don't like to see a lot of photos of people on travel blogs, although if they are new authors I like to see at least one photo to check that they really were in the place and they are not photos from the internet. And posts where the person appears in every single photo seems a bit unnecessary and takes away from the main point of a travel blog. In my own evolution as a blogger, I used to include at least one photo of myself to show that the trip existed, but lately in many posts I don't even appear anymore. After more than four years of doing this, my public have to trust that I really am the photographer, editor and main character of all my journeys 😂.

What's the story behind your tag "Likes a night out" in this community @lauramica? 🤣

@ninaeatshere in my early days on Hive I used to write in this community about going out to bars and dinner, talking about prices and stuff ~ then I stopped creating content about that but the tag remained, plus other specific communities started to appear. If @cmplxty wants to update it I'd be grateful :-) (anyway, I still go out a lot at night to bars 😂)

Hahah sorry I should update it! I've got some ideas of what it can be now :D

Great, thank you! I'll be waiting to see what you come up with 😅

I know right! All it takes is one selfie at the end of the blog to show that you actually visited the place in your travel post. And that's it.

Since you're not showing yourself anymore in your travel posts, it means you're a seasoned travel blogger. No one dares to question your credibility as you already built a reputation and you also have that writing style that makes people distinguish you from others.

Glad that you're with me on this!
