Has travel become just about selling? Where have all the stories gone?

Photographer | Video Producer, I Belong Nowhere

Im finding it difficult to come across genuine travel experience stories whether here or on other platforms. It’s simply turned into purely business and I’m finding it very hard to maintain and or need to consume travel “content.” I’m deeply missing the Anthony Bourdain approach which is where a piece of my desire to explore places came from. All I see now is who can sell what tour, whose operating where, how can we use AI, content etc… It feels like the beauty of travel is slowly diminishing and being drowned out by the bottom line, which is such a western way to conduct life as a whole. I can go through a few pages of the community discussions and there are no genuine travel memoirs anymore, just people hoping to sell.

Am I making this up?
