Are you suggesting that prior to social media, immigrants to high status countries had a misleadingly positive impression of life in those countries? That would seem to imply that we should be seeing a reduction in demand for immigration to high status countries. But in fact, demand is higher than ever.

i still remember the shock on my face the first time i roamed neighborhoods in berlin, paris, los angeles that were indistinguishable from the rot i thought i had escaped. and this was since 2018. western media, until social media and individual ‘journalism’ presented the best and only the best side of europe and america.
