I am sorry, I am not buying this. You entered a 2 year contract with a person that you 've never met. That lives already there but only your name is on the lease. And who is around 20 years old but does plastic surgery to look like a teenager. (is that even a thing?)

And you know what? Screw it. Showing kids videos of pandas eating cucumbers and asking them to be like the pandas, is an ingenious use of narcissism to achieve what parents collectively wasted more energy than north korea's nuclear program ever did. Convincing their kids to eat vegetables.

EDIT: I 'll contribute a story of my own.

A friend of mine is a photographer in Bay area and LA. Since the past few years he only works with instagram models, predominantly asian girls. I spent some time hanging out with him and two models that are also good friends. The first you notice is that... they are completely unremarkable. Shocking right? They didn't treat the waitress bad, and I was never ignored mid sentence in favor of checking instagram notifications. At least no more than a person with a 2-digit follower count would. And didn't experience a crazy fast do coke and club 6 nights per week culture. Quite the opposite actually, I witnessed the "I 'll take a picture with this drink, and drink only half of it because it has too many calories". I think the most "vapid" thing I witnessed was them being VERY jealous of another influencer who managed to get the "blue verified" icon. That's it. Don't get me wrong, they were kinda shallow, but not magnitudes more than people with no following, that's the thing! I think we love to hate them because they are treated as if they achieved some high-status with no effort. Sure. But we are forgetting that what is projected on social media is total fabrication. Both of them are off instagram now, since they got married (to well-off dudes). Was that an end goal? Was it gold digging? True love? None of my business actually.
