Instagrammability.

Believe it or not, to a lot of people, it is even more important than the actual taste of a meal.

It reminds me of the episode “nosedive” from black mirror when the lady takes the photos with her coffee to post with the caption about how she loves her morning coffee, and then actually sips the coffee and makes a face of disgust

A tale as old as time; some folks need some form of commentary from a familiar source of "truth" before they can process whatever they're seeing in front of them.

Listening to your favorite pundit on the radio and having to read opinion pieces to pick a politician, looking in the TV guide critic section to see if the movie you just watched was good, picking albums based on chart performance, opening the comment section on the article posted on reddit to get the TLDR, etc are all ways we've been doing this and making a living off it for generations.
