Right, but we should be able to calculate the impact of various factors. Industries could be using wrong types of filters or social media magnifies the filters in wrong ways.
For example, instagram algorithms specifically pick certain kind of body features and people to throw in your feed.

Algorithms could also be causing a significant cognitive dissonance by making people feel excluded. If I don't see enough people that shares some resemblance to locals (however beautiful or filtered they are), there is some stress.
Both are true.
Beauty in the world really matters. Both people and things.
But expectations being set to high on oneself is bad.
Can you have one without the other and how much are each weighted.
You can also throw in beauty is a service industry that creates jobs and personal satisfaction. Which every UBI talk says is what we will be doing when we can't work.
