Geotagging, Instagram pop-up experiences, scent... marketing? We're breaking it all down in The Goods, our new series on why we buy the things we buy: bit.ly/2zcJ2pC
See my profile picture... I'm glad I didn't geo tagged it because its an amazing sight and only about 100 people have ever been there... private property that belongs to a us.. thats part of Zion national park.
@@xerethas , thanks, cos I didn't know that. I'm just trying to highlight that because I think it's unfortunate how easily it can be ruined, and how long it took nature to slowly and naturally make the rock. Us humans can't simply build it again, but we _can_ destroy it.
*"How will anyone know where you are? How will they know you were there if you aren't in the picture?"* Recently learned that this is the mentality. I went on a trip this summer and was made fun of for taking pictures of nature that didn't have me in them and weren't panoramic enough to see where I actually was. The photos were for me to remember the beautiful details that I saw and appreciated, not to show everyone my stupid face in front of a landmark.
I’m a deep-mountain ghost town and a abandoned mineshaft explorer. I frequently have people ask me where my pictures come from. But I never tell them, because those little havens of adventure are so, so tricky to find. I don’t want them destroyed by human traffic. Keep your best finds private. Sure, maybe post about them. But don’t tag them. Make people do the work, and hopefully they never find your spots ha😂 I found a crystal cave deep within a 150+ year old mineshaft. One of the coolest places I’ve ever been. Some of these crystals were up to a foot long and all pearly white. But all were incredibly delicate. A slight touch of a finger would snap them off. I may have been the first person to find that cave since the mine was sealed off 150 years ago, because if people knew where that cave was it would have been promptly destroyed. If the cave were made mainstreams, the crystals would be broken off as souvenirs or shattered for the sheer satisfaction of crushing them. Keep yo he best places to yourself.
I live about 30 minutes from Hocking Hills in Ohio. You can't even sit and enjoy the forest anymore, all you hear is people talking and yelling, there are initials engraved on EVERYTHING, and plants are torn apart for paths
Fr xD i made a 2 mile walk to Cedar Falls from Rose Lake and you couldn't even take a picture without 100 people in it. Didn't matter what angle. The whole way there we were constantly walking by people, always had people behind us or in front of us.
I believe it’s also important for photographers not to be standing in areas you’re not supposed to. Those photographs influence other people to do the same. There’s an Iceland petition going around, because people constantly step on the moss and go off the path where there are greenery trying to grow. So much of these Instagram photographers do this just to get likes and the erosion begins. Don’t encourage bad behavior! Thanks for making this video.
in Australia, they are preventing this by having 'native plants regrowth' areas, where it is forbidden to go in there. it is fenced off, with a big sign. and a lot of the times, it is a result of wore down places that have been destroyed.
And ofcourse they just go trample the flower beds and lie all over the flower beds, destroying the beauty for their beautiful astonishing amazing photo that they'll forget about in a month or two
@Regrettable Major Jhooth toh nahi bol rahe hai na? Hum log har jagah gandagi phailate hai, kyuki kisi ne sikhaya nahi ki aisa nahi karna chahiye. Aise harkato ko chupayenge toh yeh problem chalti jayegi. Aise batein bahar nikalne chahiye, logo ko sharam aani chahiye, tabhi toh log sudherenge. Hai na? I'm not saying we are uniquely destructive. But our laws don't punish the litterbugs, we're not equipped to handle the offenders. More often than not, we throw wrappers out of our cars, spit on public roads, our children destroy communal properties; not because they are terrible or something, but because they never learned that it was a bad thing. These discussions need to get into public spaces in order to build the awareness.
sympathy from Australia. Littering makes me disproportionately unhappy. I was fishing in my local river last week (Barwon river if you were curious) and watched as a family up river gradually threw an entire take away lunch worth of rubbish straight into the water ( to float by in front of me). Wanted to yell but didn't want to start a fight so I didn't. Peace and love to you and yours.

one of the reasons i dont like going to the well known parts of nature, there plenty of beauty to be seen without thousands of extremely irritating tourists where you can go at your own pace and try to not leaving a mess
@@agentice77 i dont mean dont go to cool places, i mean go to places that aren't well known. There is so much beauty but everyone huddles around a couple of spots to get 'the perfect picture'
Who cares if others say and believe it never happened without pictures? It's a waste of time to try to please anyone, let alone to care about such pointless things. @@agentice77
As someone who’s planning on becoming a conservation officer, stuff like this annoys me. There are way too many people like this.. care more about a picture for social media than about the environment they took the photo in.
In China you can hold a baby panda for about $300. Would you pay? Now would you still do it if you couldn’t take a picture? I feel like we don’t do thing any more because we enjoy them. We do ‘adventures’ because we need to prove we are interesting.
Ehhhh... tbh its rather more of an experience more than anything, a good conversation between your friends. Also who doesn't want to hold a baby panda? That's the most adorabale thing out there.
Sadly I agree with the last part for the large majority of humanity. A weird obsession for looking for relevance, attention, fame and "clout". As for me, I'd never even consider doing it, weather I could or couldn't take a picture or video, nor would I ever consider it if I was paid to do it.
My mother is a botanic professor and my father was a free climber, so they have educated my family to know and respect nature, to not leave any mark when we visit wild places. It makes me feel anxious and angry that so many people don't even care about what they're causing.

I agree that traveling is great but going in and destroying the landscape and/or ecology should not be great. In other words, Protected Areas or Conservation Areas should be respected. The littering, cutting down trees, hunting, etc. It should not happen in the first place. We have only one home in the universe please use #LeaveNoTrace #KeepOurHomeSave to remind yourself. I already have it written on my wallet. 🌍 🌎 🏞
Footsteps also contribute to the changing of landscapes. With a million people trekking there every year, it’s gonna change significantly anyways. Imo, they should just set a quota everyday in order to mitigate such effects, but that idea sounds ridiculous in itself. I just don’t understand why people are so obsessed with posting images of these places on social media. It’s just so... shallow.
Did you completely ignore the "in protected and conservation areas"? In those ares it should never be done. In other areas however that aren't under conservation and/or protection, nor are refuges would and is totally okay and fine to hunt in. But it is also that typical human arrogance of wanting to try to control and keep other animals populations down and "in control", but not our own. No, we just keep being parasites we are, exploiting the earth, nature and each other, because that's what parasites do. @@bumpygumpson
@@bumpygumpson - If hunting were truly a solution to overpopulation, then why is overpopulation still a problem? Hunting used to be seasonal, and now you see it becoming more widespread and year-round. There's no way animals are reproducing & overpopulating that fast. Hunting is a profitable business, so it's no surprise that they artificially drive up populations of animals so that hunters will continue to come back to purchase permits & hunting gear. They rotate the hunting lands, so that hunters only kill in one area while giving animals a chance to repopulate in other areas. And that rotation is also coupled with hunting the strongest animals, which removes the alpha male. And alpha male mates with females at a ratio of 1 male to every 8 females. When you kill the big buck, you allow beta males to mate at a ratio of 1 male for every 1 female. So there's more pregnancies as a result. In nature, apex predators hunt the weakest prey which strengthens the gene pool of that species. That's why sharks and lions are so important, bc they ensure that only the fittest survive. Hunting doesn't work like that. It's not selective at all, and even when it is selective, we kill the stronger animals bc they look better hanging up on our walls. Overall, humans are indiscriminate killing machines and there's no excuse for our abuse of nature. We irreversibly damage the ecosystem, bc of the way we irresponsibly kill animals. Even in agriculture, we excessively breed animals to the point we deplete so much of our resources to raise them. It takes more land, water, food, and fuel to raise animals. It's cheaper & less resources to raise veggies. Yet our greed exceeds our needs. There's no excuse for it.
Geotagging isn’t the issue. The issue is human nature. People will always leave trash everywhere. Maybe a good solution would be to start ticketing people by strict law enforcement.
Saber Uddin I think the issue is that these hidden gems are still out there. So the explorers that go find it, and take pictures, don't want it to "go viral" because it brings in douchebags who want to see something awesome but doesn't respect the natural surroundings.
Human nature has to be one of the laziest explanations for an issue that was nonexistent just a few decades ago. And ticketing has always been enforced and fines are higher in national parks. Doesn’t mean there’s a park ranger who is able to hover over every single park guest
That's a false dichotomy. Geotagging is indeed an issue because that's what informs other people of the locations. Of course that too many humans aren't ecologically minded and that's another issue that needs to be addressed and corrected through education, and it *can* be corrected. But since we know the negative impact of environmentally uneducated humans, then geotagging is undoubtedly an issue.
As humans we have the right to explore and see new places. Technology have made that easier for us. With that being said, those ecosystems are certainly affected by human activities (such as build up of trash). But I’m sure we can find ways to protect the newly discovered nature scenes from human activities.
The issue is that people leave trash. It's not the human nature, that doesn't makes sense. If I use a reutilisable bottle I don't leave trash. It's not a problem that is unsolvable, people leaving trash is only spreading because we are consuming more and think that we arent the problem because "we are too small". Basically a tragedy of the commons worldwide.
I saw this happen at the pont d‘arc in Vallon, France, just two years ago you had to walk through a small forest next to a tiny parking. There was no space to lay next to the water and the whole area was wild and uncontrolled. This year it was easily accessible even for people with wheelchairs and the walls wich naturally had holes in them were covered in concrete so people wouldn’t climb them. They restructured the whole landscape, basically for Instagram
As with many things in life, stupid people ruin it for everyone else. Anyone enjoying the wonders of nature should be doing everything they can to not leave behind anything in the process.
It’s kinda sad when secret places like that suddenly blow up, idk why but seeing that parking lot being built along the secret trail really made me feel annoyed/upset
I’m pretty sure they still have filters at the plant. While animals probably have been peeing in there regularly, I’m assuming #2 wasn’t really done by humans
I love going to National parks and out in nature but I feel as though some people go only for the picture. They don't appreciate being there or don't truly experience it because they just want the photo to share.
It's happening everywhere! I have some of the clearest water in the world in my countryside, but so many people are visiting it (lighting fires and using the bushes as toilets), so the clarity is going fast!!
Always go to locations where there are little tourists. Places with alot of tourism usually are super overrated and have alot of tourist traps. Do your research and stay away from popular destinations.
Right but.. that's exactly what people are doing, and what this video was about. People scan the internet for 'hidden' locations, not the ones that are advertised in all the tourist books. But once that information is out those locations, which don't have the necessary infrastructure, get swamped really fast. Once that place becomes too crowded it's on to the next 'hidden' location.
Actually how about you do exactly the opposite, you ONLY go where there is already tourism infrastructure and leave places like this alone? How bout that?
@@kombuchas4684 Google, books, travel guides, talking to locals (have to be weary where you ask. Never ask someone in a tourist trap location.), talking to travelers (there are plenty of travel blogs out there that explore underrated areas), or simply going exploring around the area (after taking safety precautions) on your own terms lol. You can google nearby cities or places of the city you plan on going to, for example.
This is one reason I find joy in exploring lesser known places. There is something so special about going to place only you and a few others know about and keeping it that way.
It gets ruined by normie tourists Whenever I share hiking photos I don't give specific locations, just a general geographic area. Keep secret spots a secret.
There are plenty of “secret” locations all over the southwest. Horseshoe is just an unfortunate case of not enough infrastructure for the hundreds of tour buses that come through that area constantly.
I dont think not sharing location helps that much. If your photo is inspiring, it will make people want to get out there. They will find some other secluded spot. Maybe it wasnt your specific spot but it is still something in nature.
what do you consider a "normie tourist"? everyone who travels is a tourist, if its the first time or the 50th time that year, ther's no special/better leauge or tourist class
this happened in England over the summer when Cornwall went viral for its beaches like Pedn Vounder... there was a public statement trying to get tourists to visit other beaches because Pedn Vounder got so overcrowded.
I live in Kanarraville, Utah. I hiked the falls as a kid. We'd go every saturday, and all you'd ever see is other people you knew, if you even saw anyone. We haven't been able to go in the last two years. It costs money now, to reduce the amount of people who hike there, and it's way too popular. I love the tourists, and all these people who keep our little town alive, but the hike has gotten out of hand. Pretty sad.
9 years ago I worked at Jacob Lake Inn and my coworkers showed me Horseshoe Bend and Kanarraville. I’m grateful I got to experience them before they became overrun.
guys we have to be conscious and appreciate our wildlife. we can't keep being so unaware and selfish. it's not about us or our perfect instagram pics... be safe guys and don't be destructive. 💓
Great video! While geotagging as overcrowded many national and regional parks, it has also contributed to the increased awareness of environmental issues. I think it's a great thing that people are exploring and appreciating nature more, so long as they are doing it responsibly!
I have a hidden forest north of Seattle I Never post its location! Its my own forest left from the ice age where my dog runs off his leash. People dont share everything if u find a hidden gem keep it off social media put ur phone down.
I've definitely started worrying about this with my photos nowadays. I never did geotagged photos but always mentioned the names of places publicly on my photos online. One site I went to 3 years ago in New Mexico I had *never* seen anyone else ever mention the place before. Only tank trail dirt roads went there. Now I see that spot popping up every month in photos on multiple different platforms. I feel like my photos there contributed to it becoming more well known. Since that happened I've stopped mentioning exact locations.
For those who are interested in further readings, this shift is generally categorized as the 'anthropocene' - the epoch in which we humans have a bigger affect on the landscape of the earth than any other factor. There are some wonderful documentaries and exhibits (for example, The Anthropocene, by Edward Burtynski) as well as a significant amount of literature (Donna Haraway, Anna Tsing, etc) speaking to the ways that we are irreversibly transforming the landscape. There's a lot of reflect on - I highly recommend you seek out this information if you're interested.
there is a (quite large) state park about 35 miles from the downtown of a big city where it was essentially a secret hiking, cycling, mountain biking, and horseback riding spot. Before the pandemic hit, the only people you would see in the state park would be the locals walking their dogs, a couple runners, maybe a dozen hikers and mountain bikers on the dirt trails, and a few cyclists on the main road that runs through the park. The parking lots were always empty and the roads were dead, maybe 4-8 cars total, including the weekends. Fast forward to mid-2020, the trails were flooded with people walking, constantly taking pictures/selfies, and parking in the neighborhood streets, creating car traffic in the process because the parking lots were filled. The amount of trash was unbearable, in a place where it was once basically inexistent. The amount of people in the park isn’t as bad now, in fact the parking lots are basically empty on weekdays, but the idea of the park being a “secret” is no longer, thats for sure
It's such a breathtaking video! It reflects all that is happening nowadays. We are so obsessed with SOCIAL MEDIA that we forget to look after our planet. As it is shown, we shouldn't hide a ton of stunning and overwhelming places like this.
We're so obsessed with social media that we forget to even look AT our planet. Everybody spends their whole visit with their faces planted on their phones taking pictures and selfies instead of taking in the scenery and making memories. Everybody says "I want pictures so that I can remember it better." All you're going to remember about it is taking pictures the entire time... And you're going to pick out a handful of those and throw out 90% of the rest. All that time could be spent exploring, being in awe of nature. I went to the Grand Canyon with my parents a couple of years ago and took 5 pictures over the course of the whole day, while they each took hundreds on their cameras and phones. What kind of experience with nature is that? I never look at the pictures I took because I remember the whole day vividly; I was so busy burning everything I could into my memory because of how blown away I was just looking at it. It's just so frustrating to go to these places and over the course of the day you see the vast majority of people with their faces buried in their phones the entire time taking pictures to put on Facebook.
This is a mix for a concern for the environment and wanting to feel special for knowing stuff everybody else doesn’t. We’re on the way out anyways, by 2050 let’s see where we’re at lol. Our existence on this planet will be 100 more years at the Max.
I remember going there a few years back and we were like 10 people max at the site. It was so calming and incredibly scary at the same time because there was no deck or protection and it was rainy that day. I get why they are working on the safety surrounding the area for the locals and tourists
It’s really important to keep in mind that this is a double edge sword. The unfortunate reality is that tourists bring in a vast majority of the funds for our US park services to keep operating, protecting, and conserving our lands. It is totally unnecessary for tourists to ruin nature, and that derives from a bunch of odd reasons. However, having hot spots like these are necessary to bring in money and help conservation efforts. Again, this is not an excuse for people to trash areas as such, however, it’s an important perspective to take into account
The weird overtone that this is bad is more than a little off-putting. This is nearly exactly how the park system was created and it's definitely how they chose locations within parks, local knowledge and discovery of interesting places, for people to visit. Why would it not be done on an ongoing basis?
One of my favorite Vox videos, well done. I support a huge marketing campaign by the government to put signs and billboards everywhere saying "don't leave trash, don't disturb wildlife and nature, etc"
Glad I got the chance to visit in 2009 and 2015, even on the second trip there were no fences, just a sandy path and a handful of people. It wasnt a "hidden gem" anymore but at least felt like being out in nature, not an amusement park.
I live two blocks from the Scarborough Bluffs a cliff escarpment overlooking Lake Ontario here in Toronto. Every week in the summer the fire department is called at least once to rescue someone who slips or gets hurt. Helicopter rescues have even attempted by the Coast Gaurd and Armed Forces. Erosion has led the city to put up fences blocking the views. They post police officers at the park on busy days but people still hop it to take pictures despite the $5000 fine.
I didn't know that Leave No Trace added social media & nature guidelines! That's really cool, I haven't really heard abt them since my summer camp/hiking phase, when social media hardly existed yet
people are so dumb risking your life for just fame? what is this? people risking for goodness now that's just great i am really mad at this, you do this for things that didn't even exist people like mr.beast has it, popular but still have goodness in his heart
We've been hiking Kanarraville falls on our anniversary for three years straight. It's stunning and we never would have known about it if it didn't get all the attention it's recieved recently. I would love for there to be a way for people like me and my husband to continue to enjoy the falls while preserving it for the future. Right now that means we never leave any trash, pick up trash while on our way out of the canyon, pay the hiking fee, at eat at a local family burger joint after our hike. I was so excited to see that they recieved federal funding this last year to help with maintenance and management. This hike has become a treasured summer tradition and I want to do everything I can to keep it open and pristine for people like me and my family to enjoy.
In North Vancouver, there are many popular trails, in particular Quarry Rock. It has become so popular that the one entrance into the small community to access the trail is overrun by people coming to hike it. I sat in on a District City Hall meeting and heard stories of cars parked on so many side streets that even ambulances can't get through. Pictures were shown of empty trash cans in the morning that become overflowing by the evening. Residents (elderly) in the area can't even park to get to their local doctor. Plus, the trail itself becomes quite littered! It's great that people who may not have hiked are now going out and enticed to see these sights, but it's disappointing to see how often people aren't considerate of the land or the community they are visiting.
This is so relevant to me right now. I'm from New Zealand looking at photo's of national parks in the US, going on a trip to go to all these spots, and investing a lot of money into a new DSLR camera to basically replicate the photo's that I've come across online. It's so weird how I get the same urge, and how this video just so happened to upload right before I'm about to leave.
@@Zack2G I don't blame the petrol stations for people smoking just because they sell cigs. I don't blame the supermarkets for obesity because they sell sugary garbage. I don't blame gun stores in America for violent gun crime. At the end of the day, adults have to be responsible for their own actions; we can't outsource blame to third parties because we're uncomfortable accepting responsibility ourselves.
@@MrJonLott That's not how people work. There only needs to be 1 bad person out of 1000 and we'll have a problem. Also, a "bad person" doesn't just exist out of nowhere. Threre's always a reason why people act as they do. The environment is shaping you as a person and the wrong environment is enabling wrong behavior. Fault and responsibility are different things
I actually came across this problem where I live in Scotland. I was told there was this huge gorge that was virtually unknown and would be beautiful for photography. All the rocks were red and a couple of movies had filmed scenes there, I saw there was about 3 places to park your car on google maps and headed out. When I got there I saw nothing but tourists, people taking their dog, people with pick-nicks. It was kind of scary to think there was that many people in a place so dangerous. The way to get down to the river was so rickety and not meant for more than one person at a time but entire families and their dogs were hiking down.
Considering the human species have survived for at least 100,000 years on this planet, I'd say the odds of us dying anywhere near modern days are pretty slim.
Really thought provoking video. I know that growing up I was one of the few kids in my class that went hiking and backpacking on a regular basis. Most kids stayed in the city and played on their SNES. It makes me happy to see more people in awe of nature now, but how do we also preserve what is beautiful? This is going to be a hot issue for our generation.
@@andydavis3075 Agree, considering Pakistan's economy is somewhat pretty bad, with Pakistani people receiving billions of rupees, inflation rates are gonna be off the roof.
@@forzaacmilan36 OK so what they do is that they deploy like 2-3 balloons. Because 1 will mean they drop too fast. And if they do more than 3 they start flying. If they do not have balloons maybe they could pop down a port-a-fort and jump on it tires. If not then they have no choice but to use a grappling hook and hope that it works.
This is happening everywhere in the world. There are both positive and negative things about it. One bright side is I have discovered beauty close to where I live, because of the popularity. What makes me sad is the selfie generation: I have seen many people walked/hiked up to a hill, taken a selfie and walked/hiked down again. Instead of just sitting down for some time and enjoying the view, without the phone.
People love to complain. Do something a new way, people complain about change. Do something the same way, people complain about lack of creativity and copying.
You can "go outside" by walking around your neighborhood. Less stress, you get to know the area and people better, good for the economy around your block. And most of the people who go out to "enjoy" these nature walks tend to leave trash behind, destroy stuff and disturb the animals. All of those things lead to destruction of a site. Case in point: the junkyard called Mt Everest.
@@lunayen I disagree, we have many parks and sites in the Pacific Northwest that are kept very clean and respected. If man was meant to just walk around his backyard and that is good enough well I say go for it! But most people seek Beauty a little deeper than that.. walking in the neighborhood does not satisfy the needs to explore for many of us and we have one life on this Earth, I will be damned if I'm not going to go out and see every site I can!
Wow, when I was there in 2011 with my family we were almost alone. There was one other car besides ours... Couldn't believe that it changed to this when I saw the video
I was there fairly recently because I was in the area and I saw so many people sitting on the edge and I even have a phot to of a couple siting right next to a sign that said caution and displayed a person falling of. It’s one of my favorite pictures on my phone.
So I live in the area where this was filmed. Only 4 years! It’s crazy how the traffic has increased... I can’t stand going there anymore because of all the people, it gives me anxiety that someone is going to fall off!

I’m a deep-mountain ghost town and a abandoned mineshaft explorer. I frequently have people ask me where my pictures come from. But I never tell them, because those little havens of adventure are so, so tricky to find. I don’t want them destroyed by human traffic. Keep your best finds private. Sure, maybe post about them. But don’t tag them. Make people do the work, and hopefully they never find your spots ha😂
I found a crystal cave deep within a 150+ year old mineshaft. One of the coolest places I’ve ever been. Some of these crystals were up to a foot long and all pearly white. But all were incredibly delicate. A slight touch of a finger would snap them off. I may have been the first person to find that cave since the mine was sealed off 150 years ago, because if people knew where that cave was it would have been promptly destroyed. If the cave were made mainstreams, the crystals would be broken off as souvenirs or shattered for the sheer satisfaction of crushing them.
Keep yo he best places to yourself.
Did they form before or after the mineshaft was there?

I live about 30 minutes from Hocking Hills in Ohio. You can't even sit and enjoy the forest anymore, all you hear is people talking and yelling, there are initials engraved on EVERYTHING, and plants are torn apart for paths
Fr xD i made a 2 mile walk to Cedar Falls from Rose Lake and you couldn't even take a picture without 100 people in it. Didn't matter what angle. The whole way there we were constantly walking by people, always had people behind us or in front of us.
I believe it’s also important for photographers not to be standing in areas you’re not supposed to. Those photographs influence other people to do the same. There’s an Iceland petition going around, because people constantly step on the moss and go off the path where there are greenery trying to grow. So much of these Instagram photographers do this just to get likes and the erosion begins. Don’t encourage bad behavior! Thanks for making this video.

I'm not saying we are uniquely destructive. But our laws don't punish the litterbugs, we're not equipped to handle the offenders. More often than not, we throw wrappers out of our cars, spit on public roads, our children destroy communal properties; not because they are terrible or something, but because they never learned that it was a bad thing. These discussions need to get into public spaces in order to build the awareness.
sympathy from Australia. Littering makes me disproportionately unhappy. I was fishing in my local river last week (Barwon river if you were curious) and watched as a family up river gradually threw an entire take away lunch worth of rubbish straight into the water ( to float by in front of me). Wanted to yell but didn't want to start a fight so I didn't. Peace and love to you and yours.

As someone who’s planning on becoming a conservation officer, stuff like this annoys me. There are way too many people like this.. care more about a picture for social media than about the environment they took the photo in.
In China you can hold a baby panda for about $300. Would you pay?
Now would you still do it if you couldn’t take a picture?
I feel like we don’t do thing any more because we enjoy them. We do ‘adventures’ because we need to prove we are interesting.
Ehhhh... tbh its rather more of an experience more than anything, a good conversation between your friends. Also who doesn't want to hold a baby panda? That's the most adorabale thing out there.

Your view of others is very extreme I may say
If I was paying three hundred dollars, I would want a picture so I could remember the experience? Not just to post on social media.
Sadly I agree with the last part for the large majority of humanity. A weird obsession for looking for relevance, attention, fame and "clout". As for me, I'd never even consider doing it, weather I could or couldn't take a picture or video, nor would I ever consider it if I was paid to do it.
Some people indeed do it because of that. Quite pathetic
My mother is a botanic professor and my father was a free climber, so they have educated my family to know and respect nature, to not leave any mark when we visit wild places. It makes me feel anxious and angry that so many people don't even care about what they're causing.

I agree that traveling is great but going in and destroying the landscape and/or ecology should not be great. In other words, Protected Areas or Conservation Areas should be respected. The littering, cutting down trees, hunting, etc. It should not happen in the first place.

You are selfish
Footsteps also contribute to the changing of landscapes. With a million people trekking there every year, it’s gonna change significantly anyways. Imo, they should just set a quota everyday in order to mitigate such effects, but that idea sounds ridiculous in itself. I just don’t understand why people are so obsessed with posting images of these places on social media. It’s just so... shallow.
There is nothing wrong with hunting. Sometimes it’s even requested to keep populations down.
Did you completely ignore the "in protected and conservation areas"? In those ares it should never be done. In other areas however that aren't under conservation and/or protection, nor are refuges would and is totally okay and fine to hunt in. But it is also that typical human arrogance of wanting to try to control and keep other animals populations down and "in control", but not our own. No, we just keep being parasites we are, exploiting the earth, nature and each other, because that's what parasites do. @@bumpygumpson
@@bumpygumpson - If hunting were truly a solution to overpopulation, then why is overpopulation still a problem? Hunting used to be seasonal, and now you see it becoming more widespread and year-round. There's no way animals are reproducing & overpopulating that fast. Hunting is a profitable business, so it's no surprise that they artificially drive up populations of animals so that hunters will continue to come back to purchase permits & hunting gear. They rotate the hunting lands, so that hunters only kill in one area while giving animals a chance to repopulate in other areas. And that rotation is also coupled with hunting the strongest animals, which removes the alpha male. And alpha male mates with females at a ratio of 1 male to every 8 females. When you kill the big buck, you allow beta males to mate at a ratio of 1 male for every 1 female. So there's more pregnancies as a result. In nature, apex predators hunt the weakest prey which strengthens the gene pool of that species. That's why sharks and lions are so important, bc they ensure that only the fittest survive. Hunting doesn't work like that. It's not selective at all, and even when it is selective, we kill the stronger animals bc they look better hanging up on our walls. Overall, humans are indiscriminate killing machines and there's no excuse for our abuse of nature. We irreversibly damage the ecosystem, bc of the way we irresponsibly kill animals. Even in agriculture, we excessively breed animals to the point we deplete so much of our resources to raise them. It takes more land, water, food, and fuel to raise animals. It's cheaper & less resources to raise veggies. Yet our greed exceeds our needs. There's no excuse for it.
Geotagging isn’t the issue. The issue is human nature. People will always leave trash everywhere. Maybe a good solution would be to start ticketing people by strict law enforcement.
Saber Uddin I think the issue is that these hidden gems are still out there. So the explorers that go find it, and take pictures, don't want it to "go viral" because it brings in douchebags who want to see something awesome but doesn't respect the natural surroundings.
Human nature has to be one of the laziest explanations for an issue that was nonexistent just a few decades ago. And ticketing has always been enforced and fines are higher in national parks. Doesn’t mean there’s a park ranger who is able to hover over every single park guest
That's a false dichotomy. Geotagging is indeed an issue because that's what informs other people of the locations. Of course that too many humans aren't ecologically minded and that's another issue that needs to be addressed and corrected through education, and it *can* be corrected. But since we know the negative impact of environmentally uneducated humans, then geotagging is undoubtedly an issue.
As humans we have the right to explore and see new places. Technology have made that easier for us.
With that being said, those ecosystems are certainly affected by human activities (such as build up of trash). But I’m sure we can find ways to protect the newly discovered nature scenes from human activities.
The issue is that people leave trash. It's not the human nature, that doesn't makes sense. If I use a reutilisable bottle I don't leave trash. It's not a problem that is unsolvable, people leaving trash is only spreading because we are consuming more and think that we arent the problem because "we are too small". Basically a tragedy of the commons worldwide.
I saw this happen at the pont d‘arc in Vallon, France, just two years ago you had to walk through a small forest next to a tiny parking. There was no space to lay next to the water and the whole area was wild and uncontrolled. This year it was easily accessible even for people with wheelchairs and the walls wich naturally had holes in them were covered in concrete so people wouldn’t climb them. They restructured the whole landscape, basically for Instagram
As with many things in life, stupid people ruin it for everyone else. Anyone enjoying the wonders of nature should be doing everything they can to not leave behind anything in the process.
It’s kinda sad when secret places like that suddenly blow up, idk why but seeing that parking lot being built along the secret trail really made me feel annoyed/upset

The mayor should start taxing the tourist so they can build water filters.

Always go to locations where there are little tourists. Places with alot of tourism usually are super overrated and have alot of tourist traps. Do your research and stay away from popular destinations.
Right but.. that's exactly what people are doing, and what this video was about. People scan the internet for 'hidden' locations, not the ones that are advertised in all the tourist books. But once that information is out those locations, which don't have the necessary infrastructure, get swamped really fast. Once that place becomes too crowded it's on to the next 'hidden' location.
Actually how about you do exactly the opposite, you ONLY go where there is already tourism infrastructure and leave places like this alone? How bout that?
How do you find those places then?
@@stjepo91 No thanks. I'll go wherever I like :)
@@kombuchas4684 Google, books, travel guides, talking to locals (have to be weary where you ask. Never ask someone in a tourist trap location.), talking to travelers (there are plenty of travel blogs out there that explore underrated areas), or simply going exploring around the area (after taking safety precautions) on your own terms lol. You can google nearby cities or places of the city you plan on going to, for example.
This is one reason I find joy in exploring lesser known places. There is something so special about going to place only you and a few others know about and keeping it that way.

It gets ruined by normie tourists
Whenever I share hiking photos I don't give specific locations, just a general geographic area. Keep secret spots a secret.
that's do as always,keeping secret always better
There are plenty of “secret” locations all over the southwest. Horseshoe is just an unfortunate case of not enough infrastructure for the hundreds of tour buses that come through that area constantly.
I dont think not sharing location helps that much. If your photo is inspiring, it will make people want to get out there. They will find some other secluded spot. Maybe it wasnt your specific spot but it is still something in nature.
what do you consider a "normie tourist"?
everyone who travels is a tourist, if its the first time or the 50th time that year, ther's no special/better leauge or tourist class
Sarah, if you don't understand the difference, you're one of them.
When a picturesque location gets far too many people than needed, it ceases to become a picturesque location.
this happened in England over the summer when Cornwall went viral for its beaches like Pedn Vounder... there was a public statement trying to get tourists to visit other beaches because Pedn Vounder got so overcrowded.

I live in Kanarraville, Utah. I hiked the falls as a kid. We'd go every saturday, and all you'd ever see is other people you knew, if you even saw anyone. We haven't been able to go in the last two years. It costs money now, to reduce the amount of people who hike there, and it's way too popular. I love the tourists, and all these people who keep our little town alive, but the hike has gotten out of hand. Pretty sad.
9 years ago I worked at Jacob Lake Inn and my coworkers showed me Horseshoe Bend and Kanarraville. I’m grateful I got to experience them before they became overrun.

Great video! While geotagging as overcrowded many national and regional parks, it has also contributed to the increased awareness of environmental issues. I think it's a great thing that people are exploring and appreciating nature more, so long as they are doing it responsibly!
I have a hidden forest north of Seattle I Never post its location! Its my own forest left from the ice age where my dog runs off his leash. People dont share everything if u find a hidden gem keep it off social media put ur phone down.
I've definitely started worrying about this with my photos nowadays. I never did geotagged photos but always mentioned the names of places publicly on my photos online. One site I went to 3 years ago in New Mexico I had *never* seen anyone else ever mention the place before. Only tank trail dirt roads went there. Now I see that spot popping up every month in photos on multiple different platforms. I feel like my photos there contributed to it becoming more well known. Since that happened I've stopped mentioning exact locations.
For those who are interested in further readings, this shift is generally categorized as the 'anthropocene' - the epoch in which we humans have a bigger affect on the landscape of the earth than any other factor. There are some wonderful documentaries and exhibits (for example, The Anthropocene, by Edward Burtynski) as well as a significant amount of literature (Donna Haraway, Anna Tsing, etc) speaking to the ways that we are irreversibly transforming the landscape. There's a lot of reflect on - I highly recommend you seek out this information if you're interested.
there is a (quite large) state park about 35 miles from the downtown of a big city where it was essentially a secret hiking, cycling, mountain biking, and horseback riding spot. Before the pandemic hit, the only people you would see in the state park would be the locals walking their dogs, a couple runners, maybe a dozen hikers and mountain bikers on the dirt trails, and a few cyclists on the main road that runs through the park. The parking lots were always empty and the roads were dead, maybe 4-8 cars total, including the weekends. Fast forward to mid-2020, the trails were flooded with people walking, constantly taking pictures/selfies, and parking in the neighborhood streets, creating car traffic in the process because the parking lots were filled. The amount of trash was unbearable, in a place where it was once basically inexistent. The amount of people in the park isn’t as bad now, in fact the parking lots are basically empty on weekdays, but the idea of the park being a “secret” is no longer, thats for sure

We are so obsessed with SOCIAL MEDIA that we forget to look after our planet.
As it is shown, we shouldn't hide a ton of stunning and overwhelming places like this.
We're so obsessed with social media that we forget to even look AT our planet. Everybody spends their whole visit with their faces planted on their phones taking pictures and selfies instead of taking in the scenery and making memories. Everybody says "I want pictures so that I can remember it better." All you're going to remember about it is taking pictures the entire time... And you're going to pick out a handful of those and throw out 90% of the rest. All that time could be spent exploring, being in awe of nature. I went to the Grand Canyon with my parents a couple of years ago and took 5 pictures over the course of the whole day, while they each took hundreds on their cameras and phones. What kind of experience with nature is that? I never look at the pictures I took because I remember the whole day vividly; I was so busy burning everything I could into my memory because of how blown away I was just looking at it. It's just so frustrating to go to these places and over the course of the day you see the vast majority of people with their faces buried in their phones the entire time taking pictures to put on Facebook.
This is a mix for a concern for the environment and wanting to feel special for knowing stuff everybody else doesn’t. We’re on the way out anyways, by 2050 let’s see where we’re at lol. Our existence on this planet will be 100 more years at the Max.
Indeed we’ve dropped into something we can’t get out of and it’s only getting worse
I remember going there a few years back and we were like 10 people max at the site. It was so calming and incredibly scary at the same time because there was no deck or protection and it was rainy that day. I get why they are working on the safety surrounding the area for the locals and tourists
this reminds me of that vlogbrothers video about the tree
It’s really important to keep in mind that this is a double edge sword. The unfortunate reality is that tourists bring in a vast majority of the funds for our US park services to keep operating, protecting, and conserving our lands. It is totally unnecessary for tourists to ruin nature, and that derives from a bunch of odd reasons. However, having hot spots like these are necessary to bring in money and help conservation efforts. Again, this is not an excuse for people to trash areas as such, however, it’s an important perspective to take into account
The weird overtone that this is bad is more than a little off-putting. This is nearly exactly how the park system was created and it's definitely how they chose locations within parks, local knowledge and discovery of interesting places, for people to visit. Why would it not be done on an ongoing basis?
2:57 the ranger looks like she's sitting in front of a greenscreen it is literally that gorgeous
This is all fueled by people wanting to seek attention. In the end, it’s still human’s fault
One of my favorite Vox videos, well done. I support a huge marketing campaign by the government to put signs and billboards everywhere saying "don't leave trash, don't disturb wildlife and nature, etc"

The only thing that gets me through the school year is knowing that I’ll get to be outside, exploring again in the summer.
Ich liebe die Saarschleife
Glad I got the chance to visit in 2009 and 2015, even on the second trip there were no fences, just a sandy path and a handful of people. It wasnt a "hidden gem" anymore but at least felt like being out in nature, not an amusement park.
I live two blocks from the Scarborough Bluffs a cliff escarpment overlooking Lake Ontario here in Toronto. Every week in the summer the fire department is called at least once to rescue someone who slips or gets hurt. Helicopter rescues have even attempted by the Coast Gaurd and Armed Forces. Erosion has led the city to put up fences blocking the views. They post police officers at the park on busy days but people still hop it to take pictures despite the $5000 fine.
I didn't know that Leave No Trace added social media & nature guidelines! That's really cool, I haven't really heard abt them since my summer camp/hiking phase, when social media hardly existed yet

We've been hiking Kanarraville falls on our anniversary for three years straight. It's stunning and we never would have known about it if it didn't get all the attention it's recieved recently. I would love for there to be a way for people like me and my husband to continue to enjoy the falls while preserving it for the future. Right now that means we never leave any trash, pick up trash while on our way out of the canyon, pay the hiking fee, at eat at a local family burger joint after our hike. I was so excited to see that they recieved federal funding this last year to help with maintenance and management. This hike has become a treasured summer tradition and I want to do everything I can to keep it open and pristine for people like me and my family to enjoy.
Too many people....
People are starting to forget that travelling is not about hashtags and pictures in social media!
Leave nature alone
In North Vancouver, there are many popular trails, in particular Quarry Rock.
It has become so popular that the one entrance into the small community to access the trail is overrun by people coming to hike it.
I sat in on a District City Hall meeting and heard stories of cars parked on so many side streets that even ambulances can't get through. Pictures were shown of empty trash cans in the morning that become overflowing by the evening. Residents (elderly) in the area can't even park to get to their local doctor. Plus, the trail itself becomes quite littered!
It's great that people who may not have hiked are now going out and enticed to see these sights, but it's disappointing to see how often people aren't considerate of the land or the community they are visiting.

I actually came across this problem where I live in Scotland. I was told there was this huge gorge that was virtually unknown and would be beautiful for photography. All the rocks were red and a couple of movies had filmed scenes there, I saw there was about 3 places to park your car on google maps and headed out. When I got there I saw nothing but tourists, people taking their dog, people with pick-nicks. It was kind of scary to think there was that many people in a place so dangerous. The way to get down to the river was so rickety and not meant for more than one person at a time but entire families and their dogs were hiking down.

This is happening everywhere in the world. There are both positive and negative things about it. One bright side is I have discovered beauty close to where I live, because of the popularity.
What makes me sad is the selfie generation: I have seen many people walked/hiked up to a hill, taken a selfie and walked/hiked down again. Instead of just sitting down for some time and enjoying the view, without the phone.
We promote people to get outside and explore. Then get upset and look at the negative when people are out there enjoying it
People love to complain. Do something a new way, people complain about change. Do something the same way, people complain about lack of creativity and copying.
You can "go outside" by walking around your neighborhood. Less stress, you get to know the area and people better, good for the economy around your block.
And most of the people who go out to "enjoy" these nature walks tend to leave trash behind, destroy stuff and disturb the animals. All of those things lead to destruction of a site. Case in point: the junkyard called Mt Everest.

So I live in the area where this was filmed. Only 4 years! It’s crazy how the traffic has increased... I can’t stand going there anymore because of all the people, it gives me anxiety that someone is going to fall off!
