And I was like, 'What' Why are you doing that'' And she was like, 'People do that all the time!' "And I was completely caught off guard and thought it was just the most ridiculous thing ever, but when we got back home I started noticing how much people really do do that, and I started looking at photos wondering if they were actually legit. And I had I stumbled across the Instagram handles @YouDidNotEatThat and @YouDidNotSkateThat previously ' they're both super funny ' so I decided to put together @YouDidNotSleepThere to sort of call people out, because it's crazy. It's just crazy."She alsoidentified what she thinks are the worst travel photo clichs:"the crazy long exposure night shots with the light in the tent," "camping really close to water," and "hammocks in ridiculous places." A post shared by @youdidnotsleepthereon May 17, 2017 at 10:26am PDT @YouDidNotSleepThere has attracted a fair amount of hate, of course. Luisa said that she's been blocked by famous accounts like Socality.But roughly 30,000 followers appear to appreciate @YouDidNotSleepThere's presence on Instagram.After all, whether it'stents in weird places or perfectly flexed and posed fitness selfies, Instagram is full of unrealistic images that could usea little debunking.
