As someone who has never used social media, I found it really strange yesterday when some people asked me if I wanted to go to this place that was 1.5 hours away and

and when we got there. We got out of the vehicle and they took pictures for 10 minutes or less, then we got back in the vehicle, left to a place in the opposite direction we came from the was another 1.5 hours past our starting destination (so a 3 hour drive) to, again, get out of the vehicle take pictures for 10 minutes and when they wanted to leave this time I said we should stay and at least do something. So we stayed at the second place for about an hour.

Two days before that some girls invited me to go out with them to swim at a pool and go to a bar afterwards. The only fun that really happened at the bar was when they wanted to film some quick videos to upload to social media. They weren't interacting in any meaningful way the rest of the night.

This is stupid. If you are doing this or see someone doing it. You stop it. Or tell them to stop it.

Get a life.

The part where they're only at some location to take photos sounds unenjoyable, and it's strange they didn't tell you. As for the 'taking photos/video' part, I watch some 1st amendment auditors whose goal is to exercise 1st amendment rights by taking photos and video in a public location. (sidewalk, post office, public building) Interesting to watch responses and interactions, but would be boring af to be there with them.

Accepting random invitations from social media people will at least get you a variety of experiences. And it sounds like you're doing okay for yourself if random girls are asking you to come with them.
