I hear you, JKW. You're one of the folks who have mentioned this.

And I agree about specifics. We have well more than 100 trip reports on our site. Not one mentions a specific campsite, or even recommends areas to camp. But we do write up every hike, with a few photos to illustrate it--although again, no real specifics on where to stand to take the photo...

On the other hand, we don't do Instagram or Facebook, and the only place we discuss these trips is in communities like this--presumably among people who are making an effort to do more than just capture that selfie.

At the same time, we have seen our content "borrowed" and condensed by publications with much larger audiences, and really does have an impact. Sigh...
