Please think of the unintended consequences. There's even an ancient saying about them: "whom the gods want to punish, they grant [his/her] wishes".

I discovered a pub where people actually socialise. This being the internet, I'm not willing to say which one and where. The last thing it needs is getting flooded with more seekers than it can handle, and in the process losing its charm as the locals would be drowned out, eventually taking themselves elsewhere.

For those who think I'm being unnecessarily over-protective or snarky, I can only recommend to read this link: https://petapixel.com/2019/07/22/photographers-instagrammers... (as happens, it was on HN about 6 months ago).
