How destructive is FB?

The FB/Canal post could be used as an analogy for many other situations/locations. It's a world of instant information but of course it comes down to how one uses it from an etiquette/discretionary perspective.

Personally I find FB great for connecting with friends & family and post many pictures (mostly sunrises & other family stuff) but when I do post fishing related pictures, they are usually nondescript. I always try to snap a "location neutral" picture. If I can't, I simply don't post.

I've seen other social media tools/FB/online boards where boaters have posted pictures with exceptional details on the where & when. Same crowding happens almost immediately. Just like the canal on my bike, I simply move my boat and go find fish elsewhere.

Crowds don't bother me as much as rude people without common sense or courtesy. This is really what it boils down to imho.

What you are seeing is a complete decay of society. Instant gratification, ect. the new generation are a bunch of spoiled brats that can't do anything unless their phone tells them to. Everyone wants it NOW, whether you're on the road (everyone drives like they stole the f-ing thing) or waiting in a checkout line. Everything is fast paced and needs to be instant.... Rant over.
I don't do facebook or fish the canal anymore. I don't need the BS in my life. Like catching fish in a barrel anyhow. Peace.
