It’s a time honoured thing from back in the day when you took your camera with you on holiday, your roll of film had 36 exposures that you had to ration and think carefully about where and when to use them.
So when you got back and had your photos developed and printed, you had 36 photos to share with people.
Now you can take thousands of pictures per day with your phone and there’s no life to any of them as you force people to swipe through them.
Big tech tries to help, automatically making short videos with meh music and a few questionable photo choices. Perhaps sometimes better than swiping through 200 unsorted photos, made more likely if removing/replacing bad photos accordingly.
I think Apple can do it on device if I’m not mistaken, which mostly removes the creepy factor.
I do like how my refusal to ever albumize/tag anything has been given such a soft landing!

You forgot the days of “taking reversal/slide film photos and inviting friends over for the holiday photo slideshow”
