When you post as many pictures as Diana,
0:02
there is always a chance that one that
0:04
should never be posted slips through the
0:06
cracks. But Dana had no idea that
0:08
something was wrong with this photo
0:10
until her Instagram comments went wild.
0:12
When she finally took a good hard look
0:14
at the background, Diana realized what
0:16
she had done. She would quickly live to
0:18
regret ever posting this picture. But to
0:21
better understand why this picture went
0:23
so viral, a bit of backstory is
0:25
required. But before we start, smash the

0:29
if you haven't and hit that notification
0:31
bell so that you won't miss any new
0:33
stories. Diana had always loved
0:35
traveling from a young age. There was
0:37
something magical about seeing the world
0:39
and experiencing new cultures. Her
0:41
boyfriend Tommy felt the same way, and
0:43
they'd been dating for about 2 years.
0:45
When people heard about how they first
0:47
met, they could hardly believe such an
0:49
incredible tale. Tommy and Diana had met
0:51
as two solo travelers while in India.
0:54
They'd both signed up for the same day
0:56
trip and fell head over heels in love
0:58
with each other after agreeing to travel
1:00
together for the rest of their trip. But
1:01
despite the many things they had in
1:03
common, there was one thing about Diana
1:05
that didn't always sit right with Tommy.
1:08
Diana also had a passion for social
1:10
media and documenting her travels
1:12
online. She loved sharing pictures of
1:14
her life on Instagram and seeing what
1:16
other travelers were experiencing in
1:18
other parts of the world. Tommy didn't
1:20
feel the same way about social media.
1:22
But after he heard the real reason that
1:24
Diana was posting online, he never
1:26
complained about it again. As a
1:29
teenager, Diana had always been unhappy
1:31
with her looks. Her classmates bullied
1:33
her and put her down because she wasn't
1:35
as pretty as her friends. She spent
1:37
years trying to hide from the world and
1:39
never would have dreamed of talking
1:41
about her life online. But then a
1:43
harrowing event changed her view
1:44
forever. While traveling with a group in
1:46
Europe, Diana got into a terrible
1:49
argument after some of her so-called
1:51
friends started to make fun of her. She
1:52
broke off on her own and realized that
1:54
she liked the freedom of traveling
1:56
alone. Diana started posting about her
1:58
life and meeting Tommy only made her
2:01
even more confident. But her social
2:03
media habits were admittedly a little
2:06
unorthodox. Unlike other travel
2:08
bloggers, Diana didn't care about
2:10
getting followers. She liked the freedom
2:11
of posting whatever she wanted without
2:13
having to worry about what hordes of
2:15
followers might have to say. She felt
2:17
like she could be more genuine and
2:19
authentic as she documented her travels
2:21
with Tommy. But there was one worry that
2:22
always lingered in the back of her mind.
2:25
Diana worried about becoming too popular
2:27
on the internet. She didn't want that
2:29
kind of scrutiny and the pressure to
2:31
make every picture absolutely perfect.
2:33
She cared more about genuinely showing
2:35
their lives and what others could expect
2:38
while visiting a particular region of
2:40
the world. Still, there was one aspect
2:43
of her account that kept people coming
2:45
back. Diana's followers loved hearing
2:47
about Tommy. They thought Diana and
2:49
Tommy's relationship was so romantic
2:51
after seeing how much they enjoyed each
2:53
other's company while traveling the
2:55
world. Plus, since Diana was often the
2:57
one taking pictures, Tommy made frequent
2:59
appearances. Slowly, Diana's following
3:02
started growing, and before long, she
3:04
had a huge announcement to make. In the
3:07
past, Diana and Tommy had mostly
3:09
traveled throughout Europe, Asia, and
3:12
Africa. They weren't as interested in
3:13
seeing sites around the United States
3:15
because they'd both grown up there.
3:17
However, neither of them had visited
3:19
Canada, so they planned an extended
3:20
summer visit to one of the most remote
3:22
areas in the wilderness. Diana promised
3:25
to post often, but she soon realized
3:27
that the trip wouldn't be as simple as
3:29
it had first seemed. Diana knew that
3:31
they wouldn't have an internet
3:32
connection in all of the areas they
3:34
planned to visit. It was remote and
3:36
service was often spotty at best. Diana
3:38
had no idea that being so isolated could
3:42
have devastating consequences. For the
3:44
first week, the trip went perfectly.
3:46
Diana and Tommy had an amazing time, and
3:49
there were more than enough
3:50
opportunities to pose for romantic
3:52
pictures together. Diana's followers
3:53
loved the updates and frequently
3:55
commented to see how the couple was
3:57
doing. But as the second week was about
3:59
to start, Diana announced that they
4:01
would be going even deeper into the
4:03
wilderness. Diana warned her followers
4:05
that they were about to leave on a 3-day
4:07
journey in a particularly sparse area.
4:10
She didn't anticipate having an internet
4:12
connection, so she posted her last
4:14
couple of pictures right before they
4:15
departed. Tommy and Diana turned off
4:17
their phones to save the batteries and
4:19
started on their hike. That one decision
4:22
would change their lives forever.
4:24
Halfway through their trip, Diana
4:26
decided to check whether there was any
4:28
service available. She'd been offline
4:30
long enough to miss interacting with her
4:32
followers. When she powered on her
4:33
phone, it suddenly started to vibrate
4:36
out of control. Diana looked closer. Was
4:39
her phone broken or had something
4:41
happened? Diana quickly realized that
4:43
she'd managed to find some basic cell
4:45
phone service. The signal was weak, but
4:48
she saw that her Instagram had been
4:49
flooded with comments and likes what was
4:52
going on. She showed Tommy and they
4:54
urgently went to her Instagram to check.
4:56
But when Diana hit the button, her page
4:58
refused to load. Diana and Tommy kept
5:01
searching for service. Finally, they
5:03
found a small plateau where they could
5:05
connect to the internet. But every time
5:07
Diana tried to log on, her Instagram
5:09
immediately crashed. There was too much
5:11
activity for the weak signal to keep up.
5:14
Her page had never had this much
5:16
activity. She was starting to get
5:17
worried. By the time Diana reset her
5:20
phone and went to log in again, the
5:22
signal had vanished completely. Tommy
5:24
tried on his phone to no avail. Diana
5:26
was nervous about the level of attention
5:28
her page was getting. Maybe it had a
5:30
simple explanation, but she'd never
5:32
heard of an ordinary account receiving
5:34
this amount of attention for no reason.
5:36
There hadn't been anything special about
5:38
the pictures she posted. Or so she
5:41
thought. Diana and Tommy were still at
5:43
least a day away from civilization.
5:45
There was nothing they could do to solve
5:47
the mystery except wait to get back into
5:49
an area with a good internet connection.
5:51
Diana tried to enjoy the hike, but she
5:53
was increasingly worried and
5:55
preoccupied. After all, Diana had a
5:58
secret. In the past, Diana hadn't been
6:01
as careful about what she posted online.
6:03
Back then, she was still struggling with
6:05
low self-esteem and didn't know the
6:07
right way to build her confidence. Some
6:09
of her older pictures were quite risque
6:11
and didn't match her current persona at
6:13
all. Diana explained the situation to
6:15
Tommy and waited nervously for his
6:17
reply. Tommy decided that they needed to
6:19
get back to town immediately to see what
6:21
was going on. Even though their original
6:24
route would take another day, he was
6:25
able to find a shortcut that would allow
6:27
them to get there even faster by cutting
6:30
through less scenic areas. Diana didn't
6:32
care about sacrificing the hike anymore.
6:35
She just wanted to find out the truth as
6:37
soon as possible. Diana felt so foolish
6:40
as they hurried to the closest town. She
6:42
wondered whether she should have deleted
6:44
her older photos before starting her
6:46
travel Instagram. She hadn't intended to
6:47
become so popular, though. It had just
6:50
happened. There hadn't been enough time
6:51
for her to fully consider the
6:53
consequences. But she figured that at
6:55
this point, her old pictures were far
6:57
down her feed, and nobody would really
6:59
have the time to scroll down and find
7:00
them. Also, she resigned to the fact
7:02
that these pictures were still a part of
7:05
her and of her journey to becoming the
7:06
woman she is now. She is not proud of
7:08
who she was. However, she has found
7:11
herself, found Tommy, and she is trying
7:14
to recreate her life, a new life away
7:16
from the old mess. But her focus can't
7:19
be on this right now. She has to get to
7:22
a city, or at least a place with the
7:24
internet as fast as possible. The
7:26
possibility of getting to a city with
7:27
the internet is low, and they can't even
7:30
call anybody to come pick them up
7:32
because of the zero reception. Could
7:34
this be the end of her perfect social
7:36
media life? Diana in her search for a
7:38
way out discovered that they traveled
7:40
with a map of the region. This means
7:42
they can figure out in which direction
7:44
they need to walk to get to the nearest
7:46
highway. After studying the map, they
7:48
embarked on the walk to the highway. The
7:50
walk is at least a couple of hours and
7:52
the terrain is difficult, but Diana and
7:54
Tommy are determined and are letting
7:56
nothing stop them. After the long walk,
7:58
face scratches, and ripped clothes,
8:00
Diana and Tommy reached the highway, the
8:03
first destination before they finally
8:04
got a good internet connection. The next
8:06
challenge that faces them is how to get
8:08
a car to get them to town. Their look is
8:10
not favoring them as no car wants to
8:12
stop to pick them up with the way they
8:14
look. They even tried to have Diana
8:16
stand alone for a while while Tommy hid
8:18
in the bushes. As messed up as it is, a
8:22
lonely girl just gets picked up a lot
8:24
sooner than couples. Eventually, a
8:26
pickup truck stops for them and allows
8:28
them to hop in the back. The truck is
8:30
heading for a city and even though it is
8:32
not the closest city, Tommy and Diana
8:35
take it. At this point, the closer they
8:37
get to the city, the more Diana's heart
8:39
starts racing. She checks her phone, but
8:41
realizes the battery has long died. They
8:44
need a power outlet urgently. The car
8:46
ride takes five long hours, the first
8:48
time Diana has ever traveled in the back
8:51
of a truck for so long. Exhausted, they
8:53
finally arrive and head to the only open
8:55
place, a bar. At the bar, Diana is
8:58
allowed to charge her phone as long as
9:00
they order a drink. Tommy agrees they
9:02
need the break. Once her phone powers
9:04
on, Diana is overwhelmed by an explosion
9:07
of notifications that nearly crash the
9:09
device. The only way to stop it is to
9:11
delete the Instagram app. She complies,
9:14
then accesses her profile through the
9:16
browser to avoid the overload. Now,
9:18
finally, she can see what caused the
9:21
chaos. What she finds is both unexpected
9:24
and confusing. One of her recent photos
9:26
has gone viral nut, an old one, or her
9:28
entire profile. It's a simple selfie of
9:31
her and Tommy in nature. Nothing
9:32
unusual, yet it caused a digital storm.
9:35
She studies the comments and direct
9:37
messages. Then it becomes clear it
9:39
wasn't the photo itself, but the
9:41
location. Fans of a famous movie had
9:44
recognized the background as the setting
9:46
of a key scene. Until now, that location
9:49
had been a closely guarded secret by the
9:51
film's creators. The comments flooded in
9:53
fans asking where it was taken. Diana's
9:55
inbox was full of questions and
9:57
theories. Apparently, the directors had
9:59
never revealed the filming site, and her
10:02
photo unintentionally exposed it. Among
10:04
the many messages, one stood out it was
10:06
from the movie's lead actor. He politely
10:09
asked her not to disclose the location.
10:11
Diana replied, asking why it had been
10:13
kept secret from fans. The response was
10:16
immediate. The actor explained they
10:18
feared the spot would become overrun by
10:20
tourists, ruining the natural beauty of
10:23
the place. Diana and Tommy didn't
10:25
entirely agree, but they understood.
10:27
Ultimately, Diana agreed to keep the
10:30
secret. She ignored the flood of
10:31
messages, made her profile private, and
10:34
blocked the comment section, something
10:36
she never imagined doing. As expected,
10:39
interest in her account faded. People
10:41
realized she wasn't going to reveal
10:43
anything, and the attention shifted
10:45
elsewhere. Diana felt a mix of relief
10:48
and uncertainty. Then came the
10:50
unexpected gesture. As a thank you, the
10:52
actor invited Diana and Tommy to the
10:54
premiere of the upcoming movie. Grateful
10:56
and excited, they accepted and began
10:59
planning what to wear. Diana, however,
11:02
had mixed feelings. Eventually, she
11:05
deleted the viral photo and its
11:07
comments. Though tempted to keep it as a
11:09
momento, she knew it would always invite
11:11
questions. She preferred having her
11:13
quiet, low traffic profile back free
11:16
from the burden of secrets she never
11:18
intended to carry.
