The majority of people, as we all know, want to share the perfect version of themselves on social media. They want to choose the best photographs to share with others. However, some people have taken this concept to its logical conclusion. They have attracted followers who are far removed from reality. As a result, fans obsess over their flawless beauty standards at the expense of their self-esteem and mental health.
Those ‘perfect’ celebrity photos you see on Instagram aren’t the casual snaps you think they are.

Fortunately, some people have noticed the issue and are working to expose the phony concept that is being used behind the scenes. We have a video by YouTube star Ethan Klein, who reveals the realism behind some of the most popular influencers in a hilarious and quite shocking video.
Before the ‘everyday’ shot is uploaded to social media, hours of make-up, flattering poses, and various editing techniques are used.

Ethan mocks the blatant deception that some of these influencers engage in on a daily basis. It demonstrates that everything you see on the internet is not real, and you should never compare yourself to these people. They aren’t who they would have you believe!

Away from the polished images that we are bombarded with on a daily basis, seeing the human side of the celebrities we admire can be extremely refreshing. However, most celebrity social media accounts are now managed by teams of advisors and managers who wouldn’t share anything unless it had been carefully vetted first.

Because, while we admire, respect, and even idolize some celebrities, we yearn for confirmation that they, too, are human. Magazines with headlines like “Cameron Diaz without make-up” or “Beyonce’s acne problem” sell well because they give readers a glimpse behind the perfectly-curated curtain, but it might be cooler if there were less illusion and lies.
