> Thought experiment: if you could take your dream vacation at no expense but would have no memories or photos/videos of the trip would you do it?

No. The photos and videos are not interesting, but .. no memories? Further, I am unlikely to take it if I also have to be alone. Experiences are, for me, to be shared because shared experiences are the coin that connect us to others.

As I get older I grow more impatient with the effort of capturing my experiences with photos or other media. Organizing the media is a hassle and the real time effort diminishes the experience because my memories of the experience are interspersed with the effort to capture it.
I would argue that by definition 'your dream vacation' would include the company that would take part in your ideal vacation.
