Exploited.
Picturesque accounts on IG are growing by the millions. I agree. No doubt it's a great thing to be exposed to talent like that. But naked selfies lying in bed wearing nothing but underwear? Repetitive close ups or cleavage baring shots? That's not art.
More an act of vanity, 100s of pictures posing against a backdrop of nature (not to say making people help do so) isn't quite the same as being outdoorsy.
Outdoorsy is someone who won't entertain such thoughts. Instead of leaving an impression online, he or she spends that time offline experiencing those moments in reality. A picture or two's legit (self-love is so important) but every other day? That doesn't translate to a luxurious life but a narcissistic type which by the way, is under the realm of personality disorders.
It amuses me how IG users take to adding ghost accounts to increase followers. The point of having 1000+ followers but only 25 reckons on your photo? Don't see it.
And some habitually use public platforms to their advantage. You know the ones posting ambiguous quotes (seemingly wise) but damn well meant to sully the people who failed them. Or along the lines of

Like no, that's just awkward for everyone?
Of course. This is an opinion. Social media has allowed lots of us to fulfil our need for validation and attention. But as it becomes increasingly present, I think it's good to recognize it is no longer simply a way to connect people - period. It hinges on the edges of obsession when exploited.

A media analyst commented this, ‘How tasteful an online persona is, is directly proportional to that of how tasteful his or her personality in real life would be. If we are discerning enough.’
Buying into social media as a cohesive generation, what we are impressed by and agree on is very telling of our tastes. At UWA, I covered a report on social media psychology and scored my first A! Wish I could do it again hahaha. Social networks have evolved so much now. It is equally encouraging and disheartening.
Spend more on relations, less on impression.
