As an artist, I like to use instagram to get my artwork out there, but really people only want to upvote models and instagrams algorithms really dont help get better stuff out there for people to see.
If people stop glorifying these Instagram models, things might change, but if you look up to empty people, you become an empty person. Find better role models.
You don’t need a study to tell you watching/following others live what appears to be a better life than you, in a seemingly better body than you have for hours on end…is bad for your mental health. My teenagers don’t have FB, IG, TikTok, etc. accounts… matter of fact their phones are OUR (parents) phones. Their self-esteem and self-worth is high. Their friends parents ask why we don’t have the same problems they have…we tell them because we’re their parents not their friends. They can have all the “accounts” they want when they graduate HS and move out of our house.
Man, I was scrolling instagram up until I cut this on….. also, scrolling instagram had me wanting to go out and do something about the political climate in america……
They know the false reality that is created but they couldn’t care less. Money. Greed. That’s it.

ReplyYou have the right to remain silent. Never say anything to a cop. They are enemies, not friends and should never be trusted.
ReplyNo way. No one could possibly believe that Zuckerberg would be that cold and slimy.

ReplyThere is no justification for collecting social media info unless there’s a warrant.
