But is this a real problem? As far as I can tell there are two types of hyped up tourist spots:

1. Has been for a long time already (Eiffel Tower, Times Square, Khaoson Road, ...)

2. Recent spot because some influencer posted nice photos on Instagram (some cliff, some field of sun flowers, ...)

Never heard of a travel writer actually establishing (single-handedly) a tourist spot.

And why is that? Probably because most people don't read text that is longer than one or two paragraphs.

It's a real problem when you see quiet spots you used to enjoy being overrun by tourists. It's not one influencer, but people share a lot these days.

I'm not questioning that quiet spots getting overrun by tourists is a real problem. I'm questioning that this happens due to travel writings.

If your objection is specific to the word "writer" you can replace it with "vlogger" or "tiktoker" and the article's argument remains exactly the same.
