These people literally make me want to quit flying. I kind of wonder if it's some sort of paid recruiting campaign.

Probably one of the most popular is pilotmaria. I made a snarky comment on her blog once. Of course it wasn't approved. Another one is this Air France dude, afpilotview. It takes all my willpower to not comment, "wow, you landed?" on his videos. There are tons of similar accounts though. All equally awful. A few are from the US.

There are some cool non-circle-jerkers on IG though. Indopilot comes to mind (great pics, but recently left papua)
Wow. Couldn't agree more. These ding-dongs make me look forward to retiring and never getting on an airplane again.
