It's not just you — no one is posting on social media anymore::Social media is on the decline. Instagram is all ads. No one's posting on BeReal. TikTok is for influencers. The new place for sharing: group chats.

I think now is a good time to forgo or reduce posting the images to Facebook and simply curate the photos yourself from your collection and make the photo album yourself.

If it's for your kids, I think it's worth it to make regardless of if it's worth it to post it.

The entire concept of just sharing images of your kids online is weird to me to me begin with. Just make a photo album like everyone else did prior to social media.

This person is upset the same 8 people are liking their photos, give up on the need for attention and just live your life.

Doesn't Google Photos produce something similar from stored photos? I don't use it much myself, as I don't take many photos, but I've used it to view screenshots & such on my phone & I seem to recall something like that.

If so, would definitely be an option to avoid posting while producing a similar yearbook/photo album.

It does. One Drive does too.

I can’t imagine Google doesn’t have such functionality, since Apple has had it for years and they’re nearly never first to market with a feature.

Google will literally sell you photo books.

Only in limited countries (might be US only actually)

Oh, that makes sense.
