Maybe some things. But if you think people are attending concerts for their favorite artists, eating at their favorite restaurants, etc. SOLELY for social media, I think that's a bit dramatic.
I went to a concert last Wednesday that I spent $200 dollars on because I like the guy so much. We took a photo there. It is on Instagram. I looked good that night. If you think I spent $200 plus alcohol purely for my Instagram photo, I don't know what to tell you other than you're entirely wrong
Sure, I'm just one person.. but I think the average person is doing the things they enjoy and just so happens to have social media in their pocket as well moreso than the other way around.
The only people who seem like their specifically go places and do things for social media are people like Instagram "models" who get paid to do it.

Nope. It's even spawned the term "selfie destinations." More like a high tech scavenger hunt.
I've witnessed this behavior many times in regard to scenic or popular places.
