I've taken two groups of friends through parts of Kyoto over the last month and I can 100% vouch that this article is not hyperbolic: https://aftermath.site/japan-overtourism-social-meida-tiktok-instagram/

People show up in droves at specific spots that are currently Instagram-famous and behave like a bunch of complete morons.

Most tourists are OK, but the people that literally only show up for a selfie and then walk away with zero care for the place or people around them are disgusting.
