    OP isn’t wrong, it’s the reason I came off social media years ago & I’ve been so happy since

    Browsing social media gave this false illusion that people were constantly out having the time of their lives, every single day.

    I just constantly felt like I had to try and do the same, that my life was boring and miserable. The reality is that I was doing and having more fun than most people based on conversation, social media was just painting a very false picture of people’s day to day lives.

        Lol, that has nothing to do with the constant psyops run on it. Those have been present since well before the sale. The site allows anyone to post anonymously. It’s the perfect grounds for manufacturing the appearance of consensus.
