Well of course it is, it’s a Snapchat filter applied to other people’s vacation photos. You’re not supposed to care about those, but it’s not something anyone would ever hire an artist for either.

It’s the slop aspect that makes it grating. Anyone that’s ever been annoyed at a filter being trendy and being force fed the results will tell you that.
There’s no novelty, there’s no craft, there’s no artistry. It’s just having a 20 dollar photo filter shoved down your throat

If this happens to you, you have undiagnosed depression and should see a psychiatrist. Or at least develop a meditation practice. (Serious!)
> There’s no novelty, there’s no craft, there’s no artistry.
There are two parts here, the filter and the original photo. The second one is where that comes in. The reason they're being posted is that the filter /removes/ some of it, which makes it safe to post because the "craft and artistry" also makes the originals too personal to let anyone see them.
Think you might be confusing "annoyed at a trend" with "visibly angry at a trend". You might not be familiar with the term overexposure, but it exists.
Second paragraph's a non-sequitur so I don't really have anything to say about it.
