The only Instagram influencers I follow are people I know in real life. So I know that the people are real. But even then, the content they post is often framed in an unrealistic way and sometimes outright fake or edited. I know this because I've traveled with them, and seen the real side of all of the same things that they post about.
I can understand why people find Instagram influencers entertaining, especially the ones that appear to be attractive women. It's obviously entertaining enough that it's a realistic career option for many attractive women. But to me, believing that what you see on Instagram is real life is like someone in the 90s believing that tabloid newspapers at grocery store checkout aisles were real life. We should all know better.
