Essena O’Neill explains in her video that she found herself drowning in the illusion. Social media isn’t real. It’s purely contrived images, and edited clips ranked against each other. It’s a system based on social approval, likes and dislikes, validation in views, success in followers. Plus, It’s a perfectly orchestrated judgment, and it consumed her.
