Yes, check-in culture often undermines authentic experiences. Driven by social media, it turns travel and daily life into performative acts—prioritizing perfect photos and validation over genuine immersion. People queue for hours at trendy spots just to "check in," ignoring deeper cultural or personal connections, leading to superficial, homogenized encounters.[1]Balance is key: Use check-ins to share joy, but focus on being present for true fulfillment.[1] https://wenyi.gmw.cn/2022-01/25/content_35470461.htm
