Instagrammers Are Killing This Field Of Poppies (HBO)

- The Antelope Valley California Poppy Reserve has a few rules: Don’t bring your dog to the park, don’t eat food along the trail, and don’t fly drones overhead. The most important? Stay on the trail. But during this season’s super bloom, a semi-rare outbreak of golden poppies in spring, staff at the reserve have had a difficult time making sure swarms of kids, families, and models posing for Instagram follow along without trampling the delicate wildflowers.
On a typical day, the park sees about 60 visitors. During super bloom season that number skyrockets to around 2,000. Jean Rhyne, who has been an interpreter at the reserve for 13 years, has been vocal about the long-term impact this can have on the park’s natural wildlife.
“This park was created specifically because of the poppies that are here,” Rhyne told Vice News, “And if they get stepped on or sat on to take a picture in [...] it compacts the soil and then the roots from the seeds of the next year can't get in. So we'll have scars in the habitat for many years to come. ”
Super blooms in California tend to occur about once a decade on average, dependent upon heavy rainfall and favorable temperatures, but this season is the second the reserve has seen in three years. In 2017, there was what Rhyne calls the “Apopalypse,” when park staff first saw a significant and unexpected rise in visitorship, most of whom were drawn there for social media.
Since then, the reserve has tried to adapt, hiring staff from other California State Parks, providing numerous trails and walkways, and even using their hashtag #DontDoomTheBloom to inform people about the potential harm before they visit.
But this hasn’t deterred people from getting their perfect shot. Fewer than 300 Instagram posts have the #DontDoomTheBloom tag while more than 147,000 are tagged #superbloom. 45,000 have the hashtag #CaliforniaPoppies.
This year has also brought some unique problems. In March, a pair landed a helicopter in the middle of a field of poppies. When a park ranger approached the couple, they ran back to the helicopter and fled. The reserve responded to the incident in a since-deleted post on Facebook: “We never thought it would be explicitly necessary to state that it is illegal to land a helicopter in the middle of the fields and begin hiking off trail. We were wrong.”
Rhyne, on the other hand, was not surprised. “You just never know what's going to happen out here,” she said. “People do weird things.”

let me destroy flower for people who dont care so my ego is elevated
As a Finnish person I can say that no Finland is not the happiest place in the world
No way Finland is the happiest country, just look at the suicide rates!
The park should start fining offenders as high as 1k dollars!
Vice I'm glad you can grill Jordan Peterson but not ask why these people don't mind destroying these flowers. This is why I'll never care about Global Warming because these hypocrites don't care about the environment.
That last girl. She's talking about how people aren't respectful..... YOU'RE ONE OF THEM
barbaravibes meanwhile her friend stepped on a flower !!!!
THIS^
I agreed
Mind blowing that she truly thought she was above it. Very disturbing
It’s cause she’s lost in her own little Instagram phone land where the only thing that matters is “likes” and the comments saying “oh my god”
“It’s kind of sad to see a flower die”
Lies down on a bunch of flowers.
Lol yess 😂😂
Global pollution kills more poppies permanently
Just a matter of time before they're all dead. Better snap a picture before they die permanently. Ain't nobody selling their diesel or gasoline truck
@@intellectualpatriarchal5962 Exactly!
Nichole Mcclease yeah it's not like these people are trying to preserve the poppies or anything
@@intellectualpatriarchal5962 yeah and who invented those fucking things in first place? We are the worst that happened to this planet. No excuse.

Look at where they placed their stuff. literally ON THE FLOWERS
@Hussain Ekbar sarcasm bro
It’s just a flower hippie chill out
God I hate that so much
We actually rear these floras
How to NOT kill the poppies:
Step 1: Do NOT step on ANY Poppies
Step 2: Get a picture from afar
Step 3: Go back home
@Hey There and that's mah favourite
Step 4: Get a real job
@@HapliodHandler exactly.
Bring a lawn mower then everybody can walk around
Or you could get a picture from the actual paths and not have to take a picture from afar

I went there a week ago, witnessed someone get fined $1000 for going off the trail
Very satisfying to read. They finally did something to stop this madness.
I can assure you, that's not enough.
There are fines and also drones are not allowed.
If that’s true, that’s awesome! They should all get fined! Bunch of fucking self entitled pricks!!
@@LaskyLabs what would be enough
I really wish there was an “wall of shame” kinda thing for people who do this. Oh taking a cute picture in the poppies? Oh well we took a picture of you too.
YESSSS frickin amazing idea
The ones who is the most narcissistic will have the biggest picture displayed
(Im not even American but this is brilliant)
there would probably be too many to put on a wall unless they were tiny pictures
You'd have the entire population of California on that list. They suck so much.
That would be perfect. Would donate to make it happen but I’m poor.
this sucks :/ it bothers me that those people interviewed said they were careful and try to act like they’re better than the other people taking pictures but you can clearly see them stepping on the flowers :( you don’t need to step into the field people, just taking a picture from the trail or not taking a picture at all is fine
Not only the petals are important; the whole enssemble of the plant is the poppy itself, from its leaves to its roots.
completely agree
A sniper should be hired to kill all the useless people who walk into the field for their pictures. The world will be a better place.
@@koolaidman6251 bit far
@@koolaidman6251 lmao ok bucko
I like how everyone they interview talks like "other people" are the problem.
Jonathan Edward you know what man your completely right
@Jonathan Edward The main issue is mega corporations destroying and polluting the environment and governments subsidizing them and giving them tax breaks to continue doing so. Then both the mega corporations and the governments try to pin 100% of the blame onto consumers. While the general population does share some of the blame we need to start penalizing these companies and corporations for this disgusting behavior. It would help if people would stop consuming so many useless, processed, prepackaged products from these companies, and instead turned towards more sustainable, higher quality options such as glass tupperware, and metal straws instead of plastic.
@Jonathan Edward it is genuinely china though. My country does all it can already. USA isnt even a 20th the global pollution. If we nuke China were good

ikr
They’re
Stomps on flowers IM ON ME WITH THE EARTH
*YIN* and *YANG*
You need to realize these people DO actually understand they're ruining the poppies. They just don't care. It's as futile as arguing with massive polluting corporations about Climate Change. They DO actually believe in it, but they'll never say it, because it's not in their best interest. These people are sociopathic scum. So fucking L.A.
I find it creepy when people start to care so much about getting the perfect shot. The narcissism makes these people see in a scary type of tunnel vision: the most important thing and their prime mission in life is to get the shot and nothing is gonna stand in their way. They will trample and kill the flowers to get it.
The worst part they act like they care by saying stuff like 'dont wanna kill the flowers'
Then proceeds to trample them 😭😭😭
Humans
So true.
Such people are also dumb. I've seen this throughout my life. Back in school and now in College as well. Dumb boys and girls try so hard for worthless shot rather than improving their pathetic grades. Never befriend such clowns who are just losers in an adult's body.
It really is creepy. Every one of them is completely self-absorbed.
Oh man so many people go crazy for pictures. Some even stood in the middle of a busy road, risking being hit by a car.
people care more about taking a picture of a beautiful sight then actually enjoying it
dont act like youve never taken a pic of something instead of enjoying it
You can't take a picture of a beautiful sight and enjoy it at the same time? What's wrong with having documentation of your memories and the places you've been to? Now, I'm not agreeing with what they're doing. They should take pictures without stepping or sitting in the flowers.
It's okay to take a picture of a scenery, it's just that there are so many people taking photos which result in many poppies just dying
@@nobadvibes9415 I never go anywhere
No Bad Vibes your vibes are off
Give them fines. Steep fines. There are fines for littering, destruction is destruction.
Fines will make the flowers die cos they're so fragile
Agreed!!!
Hannah H yeah you right
I remember that in the poppies fields in France people can be arrested for damaging the poppies
Agreed. These people would still have the audacity to deny what the did 🤦🏻♀️
Yup, fines. The money can go to protecting and. Nurturing the flowers. Lol, why do they have to get in the flowers? It's not like photoshop doesn't exist lol
Pro-tip: Just because it's not actively in bloom doesn't mean it's not a poppy flower. You think you're being conscious by not stepping on the blooming flowers, but you're definitely killing at least a few dozen younger flowers during your hike off the path and while rolling around on the ground in a costume like a child. Good topic, glad to see this addressed.
its being addressed but no one listens. It is sad that these flowers will probably just die off over the next few more blooms.
Whats worse is that with a bit of photoshop, you could just put yourself on the field virtually without hurting the poppies every spring.
omg yeah i didn't think of that
Ahhaha
So true! All those idiots probably have a green screen somewhere or know someone that can do the edit
And what's even worse then that is a guarantee you they photoshopped those pictures anyways.
They should:
1. Put up fencing along the path
2. Fine people
3. Repeated offenders are arrested
1. While fencing it is a good idea (as it keeps the stupid bunch off the flowers), it ruins the scenery.
2. This 100%, once people start getting actual consequences for their actions, that's when things change (for better or worse).
3. same as 2.
I picture a white picket fence
@@seri-ously8591 Nah, they can get a fence that matches the aesthetic of everything.
@@LA-sh9jh You have to consider the maintenance costs and the labor cost that goes into having those fence up too. You're talking about thousands of dollars here.
Another thing is Parks tend to prefer not doing anything because it's better. If you think about how some of us won't mind seeing fences around the scenery, maybe a minority do and that's where unnecessary uproars starts about the fence props. While it may not seem much to you as an individual, it's important for the Park not to try anything that may seem too much. As we are in an age where everything can be deemed offensive or eyesore.
Parks are usually fighting a losing battle due to human negligence and stupidity.
@@seri-ously8591 Who said they had to do it right away and lose money? And who the hell cares about what others think as long as it's protecting the Earth? If they can't understand that then it's technically their loss. If they can't put up fences because of something other than others' unimportant opinions then put up signs, hire people who can watch over the fields and make sure nobody destroys crap. Maybe it ain't that easy but nothing's gonna happen if nobody does anything about it.

@@urfavleo07 Good on him for being smart.

Or maybe just getting a professional pic that zooms in on the flowers that would make it look like your standing there when you edit a picture of you in it later , also share the photo online so other people can just use it and do the same thing

Not worth it at all.
The lack of self-awareness of these "instagrammers" is astonishing. "Part of the earth", you literally just killed it bro. Why not take a picture from the main path only. Instagrammers are definitely the pests here...

Or, I know this is crazy, but- put your fucking phones away and live your life. Did you read any of the captions that these fools were using when they posted their pictures? A bunch of hooey about appreciating life and beauty and nature, meanwhile, cut to them staring at their screens the whole time and ruining the precious thing they were encouraging their followers to appreciate
@itatchisasku we do. we need it to take online classes. we need it to stay in touch with friends because most people dont like calling all the time, texting is more convenient.
@itatchisasku i think it would be easier to not use smart phones if you meet your friends often but if you and your friends live far and cant call all the time its hard

How about when the poppies die off in winter? Is the cop going to give a ticket to nature?...
@Pareidolia Better lay on the bed of flowers before they go extinct due to temperature warming and lack of rain. Which is caused by the contamination of gasoline/diesel mufflers
@@MichaelGarrity Pollination is done thru pollinators such as bees and butterflies it makes a stronger plant. But a flower already has seeds. And guess whats needed to grow a plant? SEEDS. For example grown a plant inside your home. You can grown it and you won't have to have bees or butterflies flying inside your home.
They should put a sign saying there are venomous snakes in there, would that work?

The title should've been "Idiots are Killing this Field of Poppies"
The title is accurate... Instagrammers = idiots
That's what it was. Or did I read that wrong.......
Should have retitled this comment: "im an idiot that thinks stepping on a few flowers will kill the earth".
Bubbajax_999 he never said they were killing the earth he said they were killing the field of poppies which is what they are doing...
@@tenchixxx and? Theres plenty more.
Same in the Netherlands. There are tulip fields and people are trampling them to get Instagram pics.
Wow i thoutht people there were educated ... sad
Also with Indonesia to edelweiss flowers. those tourists make them extinct
@Edward Nicolas Arrienda Torralba And yet crime is still high in the Philippines.
Same for the tulip gardens of India...
Why can't people just take pictures from areas where they aren't going to kill the flowers. You get a pic and no flowers die. Fricking people.
honestly if i was a ranger, i would just yell with a megaphone “GET OUT OF THE FLOWERS, YOU ARE KILLING THE FLOWERS, GET OUT OF THE FUCKING FLOWERS”
For me I’d just take out the baton and beat them upside the head as soon as I see them stepping on them when I’m only going to tell them once to step off the flowers
Any self-loving, self-respecting human being should not call themselves an “influencer”
Well they "influence" bad personality
This tho...
Agreed
They used to be called hustlers.
How do I know you’re not an “influencer”?? 600 likes on a post hm🤔
Imagine fining everyone and using that money to perserve
that would be awesome
Umm...
That's great
Good idea.
Agreed. With this sort of fines, it would be easier to maintain the park by hiring more crew.
This is kinda like an incident in China where people destroyed rare pink grass because they wanted to take pictures
Pink grass what?
Happens in vietnam as well
I've read about the beach where that Leonardo DiCaprio movie The Beach was filmed has been destroyed by people. Coral reefs damaged and garbage left everywhere
1dogissky OMG ME TOO! It was so freaking sad because it was so beautiful(I’ve only seen pictures)
steve crawford or we could educate 8 billion people and set up things to PREVENT further destruction or our planet. It’s beautiful, and “getting used to it” doesn’t help anyone at all!
Lol she’s yelling and nobody is listening 😂😂😂 somebody invest in a megaphone for this woman please
Love how it ends with the influencer saying that they were very careful with protecting the lands and her friend stomps down on a flower after popping her bottle.
Yup. So stupid and vain...
Talk about bad influence. And a made-up title.
but why was thAT GUY DOING A BACKFLIP IN THE POPPIES
WHY?!
Every poppy should experience a backflip at least once before they die.
Backflips are cool. Poppies are cool. Back flips in poppies is cooler.
@@eriktruchinskas3747 roflmao. :)
Erik Truchinskas as a former man bun person that has never back flipped on poppies I’m offended
I am Nobody right rotfl
Damn. People are so self-absorbed. This is sickening.

Welcome to the Instagram generation.
I only see millennials
@@jipsels Were in Generation Z now dude. The oldest age of a Gen Z is 24 now. You know the people who are more obsessed with phones and social media than any generation before them.
Yep -don’t you mean 20 years because gen z starts in 1999 so most of them are millennials
These people: I'm one with the earth 😌
Also them: *does a backflip and ends up stomping on the flowers*
Really? You were given directions and you want to break it just for a pic. Just take a pic of the beautiful flowers nobody wants to see you on gorgeous flowers.
But how would they prove they were actually there ?
mizzury54 why would you need to? they're honestly right why would people want to see you on flowers lol
@@mizzury54 stay on the path outside of the field and take your selfie.
@@mizzury54 who care tbh lol
We gave them direction to enter the country only at the border offices. But they cross wherever they want just to get some welfare. Please respect our border.

"Disclaimer: No flowers were hurt in the making of this shoot" ...Okay , but that's physically impossible and you know it and you're lying.
Oh she's lying alright
Ftfu: “No flowers where hurt”
This kind of stuff makes me thankful to be an introvert. Peaceful, comfortable and just chill.
I'm an extrovert, and I also like peace and quiet, especially nature, but I like to experience it with others
@@goat8219 there's an 8% out of a hundred percent chance they'd wanna enjoy it with you. Most people just want to have fun instead of genuine happiness. I doubt you'd end up leaving and enjoying the place instead you'd probably take a bunch of pictures instead.
Zīkeal Huh? I just like sitting on grass fields and talking with family, my sister is only there to take pictures, but slowly but surely, that's getting better, I don't get what you mean, do introverts just hate everyone? I just like spending time with family, friends, and maybe even make a few friends along the way, I have a farm, and I like plants, horses, and gardening
Zīkeal Hell, the only social media I have is CZcams and whatsup, I don't even take pictures of my travels, but I am thinking of making horse videos
@@goat8219 No... this guy's probably just scarred by seeing many disrespectful extroverts foolishly destroy everything around them. Unfortunately, because extroverts are much more common than introverts there's automatically a higher number of disrespectful people. There's technically also automatically more respectful extroverts as well... But all types of humans have a higher chance of disregarding others, so while the proportions of each group are similar, population size is not. You are more likely to see disrespectful extroverts simply because there are more extroverts as a whole.
As for actually enjoying company with others... We usually enjoy spending some time with our loved ones, but it's physically exhausting to socialize for extended periods of time. It's not even anything against individuals, it's just harder for us to keep up with social interactions. We need plenty of time alone, not because we hate people but because social interaction is more tiring to us for some reason.
These people look like they've never seen flowers.
LA people for you
Oh yeah like Asian tourists who took a picture of a dandelion weed in the cracked cement of one of the San Francisco sidewalks
They’ve seen flowers but not ones that can give you likes
@@kalenc515 Lol god damn I wanna take a picture of someone doing that.

@@ceesan5605 yikes let's not kill the flowers or people

Mimichu aranas, she should be armed with a sniper rifle and shoot dead all the useless people who step off the trails.
Your Mother’s Lover mustard gas it won’t kill the flowers
Vibrating Cat Lmao
“Being one with the earth”...yeah sure, more like destroying it 🙄
Well death is "being one with the earth" literally
@Bunker Sieben or in a coffin
Remember kids,
respect the poppie or get the glockie
I just killed idiots that was gonna commit respect poppies is no more
They need to close the park then, it is ridiculous that people think this is okay.
horses4555
They did, temporarily a couple weeks ago, I think. Then people started illegally parking on the FREEWAY and in neighborhoods causing massive disturbance to the people who live around there.
@@audreyflowers6866 what is wrong with them?
@@BlackGirlLovesAnime6 everything
The paths are just as pretty! Take pictures on the paths in front of them!
"Fairy-esque, 90's, grunge, cloud, person!?" Expectations are very low with this one..
ironically so is their IQ
Yup that was the cringiest thing I've heard all week
I felt like punching the back flipping douche bag more.. but violence is not the answer.. so, if we ever cross paths, I will back flip on him to see how he likes it..
What expectations
"One with the earth"
Them killing the earth
Earth: I'm good being *Alone*
I live in California and my dad mentioned the super bloom and I asked if we could go but he said that it would be too crowded with people taking pictures, But seeing how beautiful the flowers looked and the people stepping on them and laying on the poppy’s yet saying “we try not to step on them!” just makes me get so mad.
I hate that they say try
Jesus offers you freedom and eternal life. Accept Him as your personal savior so I can meet you in Heaven and let Him bless you for the rest of your life too. Invite Him into your life and you'll love what He does in you. Freedom from self, addiction, abuse, poverty, anything you need. I grew up poor in an abusive home and The Lord has lifted me and my family out of that. He loves you the same as He loves me. You can take that to the bank.

The human race in a nutshell
Yes
the belief that you are the main character of the universe
“It’s sad to see a flower die” and “people aren’t gonna be respectful because they want to get the shot”
*-Says the people who literally sit on flowers and take pictures on them*
Who brought their dog and a bunch of equipment as well.
What can you expect most people are hypocrite nowdays
I prefer to see a title such as:
"These fields of poppies are killing instagrammers"
It was already bad with Instragrammers, now it’s 100 times worse with the TikTokers.
@@soliz9256 Wyd you need to throw "gay" in there? There was no point of that 'cause "Gay" is not a insult
@Soliz Thank you for changing it. :)
Tik tok is more toxic ngl
Scapegoating, ah yes, tactics of the nazis and radicals.
@@cclusster2792 all tiktokers move to 4chan! Mercy doesn’t exist there! I’ve called Reddit and 4chan to war with tiktokers. The largest internet war is about to happen. Pick a side. No more small skirmishes (arguments) in comment sections and threads, this new war will be larger than the furry vs gamers war!
Why can’t we just fine them $100 per violation- use the money for restoration
100? No honey, 1000 and revocation of visas for foreign tourists
@Zaynab Pizza thats what he just said
How about, 10 dollars per flower you step on or within 5 inches of? That’ll add up fast.
more like 5-10 grand, make it stick. it’s a national park nah?
Poppies are red
Violets are purple, not blue
Don’t step into the friggin flowers

"People ultimately won't be that respectful" - pans to a shot of her literally stepping on a damn Poppy...
Videos like these remind me of why I don’t have Instagram.
These kinds of apps attracts and breeds narcissists.
Ironically, these are the same type of special snowflakes that would post "let's stop using plastics and protect the environment" and label themselves as an "environmentalist / loves nature" as part of their profile.
Yuck and yikes.
Thank God I deleted it
Same
Thnx God I use reddit
For most people it's basically an eternal competition in toxic vanity and giving a fake impression of an awesome jetsetter life you don't have. Went interrailing through Europe with a bunch of friends, had one friend set the route only to discover every fucking stop he had made was 100% based on what shots he wanted for his Instagram. The entire trip was about his Instagram account and not having a good time with his friends.
Instagrammers are not that interesting enough to damage that beautiful poppy flower park
Poppy* lol...
lmao I wouldve never noticed that he put "poopy" instead
jessejauregui but I absolutely hate them
jessejauregui
Yay - “poopy” flower park realness!
BennyB5555 lol
The ridiculous bit is they think it's fine to walk though the field as long as they don't step on any flowers. They are completely ignoring the fact the the plants are more then just flowers and the greenery is also part of the poppy.
If you walk off the path you are killing the plants. Has no one seen a path made in the grass because everyone walks in the same spot? That path never regrows as long as people keep waking on it.
I wouldnt feel right stepping and sitting on flowers😭😭😭
Imagine how better it would look without those patches
OR, now this might sound like a crazy idea but hear me out, you could stay ON the path and take a photo from there
But it looks more *AeSSThETiC* if you lie down and crush the flowers with your body
Lol the one above me made me laugh
yep that is to crazy
"People won't be that respectful" she says while standing on a flower!
I wonder if they knew the title of the video before being filmed 😂
Lololol I wish i could have seen their reaction when they finally saw it. maybe one of them commented I wish they'd pin them
