LESS IS BETTER

A local Melbourne gym, Doherty’s, has banned tripods for selfies and the world has ended, well at least for some people. Tripods are actually a trip hazard and those using the cameras are a nuisance as they demand space for their perfect Instagram post or YouTube clip. Very few people need to film themselves exercising and those that do are probably doing so under a coaches supervision. 

Maybe it would be easier to ban influencers from this and all gyms and leave it to the people who actually want to exercise rather than those who want to pose and film themselves ‘exercising’. 

Does anyone really doubt the world would be better off with fewer photos and far fewer ‘influencers’?
