What's funny is when you actually know people who are influencers, it turns out their lives actually are nothing like what it is online! I think we are all a lot more dull than some would like to admit.

Isn't that what is so toxic about social media? You end up comparing your real life to the curated, best-possible-angle lives of your friends and (subjectively) famous people online.
You consume the condensed moments from hours and days of time from other people's experiences in real time in your own life- you can see cute pets, exotic pets, funny moments, beautiful people all in a minute or five of boring, slow-ass real-time.
I think their lives look extremely dull online too. Prisoners of the most mediocre algorithms
