Delete the ones I don't keep in touch with unless they're interesting enough/I know I'm headed to their town/city one day. Nowadays though, I only really grab the contact info of people I care to be in touch with.

And I stay away from the obvious networkers

I don't keep contact.

First year of traveling it was "OH MY GOD LETS BE FRIENDS FOREVER ILL VISIT YOU IN YOUR COUNTRY". Second year it was "yeah add me, we'll keep in touch, i'll let you know if Im near you".

Now I just politely ask them to add me, and don't accept the friend request unless I'm sure I'll see them again this particular trip.

Yeah, in my experience people don't really keep in touch with people they meet in hostels. I'll accept people who add me on Facebook and gladly see how they're getting on, but there's no point trying to stay friends with someone you probably won't ever see again. There's a few people who I might hit up for a drink if I went to their home cities, but that's about as far as it goes.

This, I do stay in contact with a few. Let some Swedish bros chill at my house in Thailand, they returned the favor. Others maybe just chat or I like the pictures of their travels. If I go a year without talking or checking in on them, I delete them, same as others have done to me, no bug deal.
