>>1098383 They're detestable, equivalent to bad shitposting. It isn't art, it hold no information to assist hikers, its useless.
People literally do it so they can take pictures of it and attentionwhore on social media that they went somewhere. And its almost exclusively city-folk, too.
I remember screencapping a poster here a few years back on some rescue looking for a lost tourist backpacker, whose message for help with large rocks and reflective emergency blanket was turned into cairns and the blanket thrown away by a group of passers by while he tried to look for water or make a signal or something.
I've got it on my old hard drive bear with me.
