No, the comic is very clearly about pointing fingers at people who claim its better to live your life vs recording it. I’ve made no such claim, I think both ways are fine as long as the person is happy.
I have friends who get upset that i don’t take enough photos while hiking, camping or paddling. I always tell them they are welcome to come and experience it themselves instead.
One of the most amazing experiences as an adult is going back through pictures of people doing things. My friends, my family. I sit with my wife and kids and we tell stories to them about our youth, they ask questions about them. The most amazing experience is showing them those pictures and seeing their amazement that their old parents were once young men and women.
There is nothing wrong with not posting those for other people, but pictures of people have a way helping you visceraly remember the emotions of that event.
You’re not wrong at all, that’s just a different perspective on pictures.
Seems like you’re someone that enjoys living your life, not recording your life.
relevant xkcd
If by relevant you mean not at all, sure.
the comic is about living your life vs. taking photos of your life
edit: live -> life

Which means your ‘relevant xkcd’ just isn’t.
