What’s a truth about social media culture today that you wish wasn’t true?

For me:

1. That we equate visibility with value. Like if people don’t see you online, you somehow matter less. That pressure to “exist” digitally messes with my sense of self.
2. That vulnerability gets commodified. Sharing your pain can turn into a performance. Sometimes it feels like you're not healing—you're auditioning for sympathy.
3. That we chase perfection we don’t even believe in. I know most of it’s curated, filtered, staged—but part of me still compares and feels behind.
4. That outrage is easier to trend than compassion. The algorithm doesn’t reward nuance. The louder and more polarized you are, the more reach you get. It’s exhausting.

What about you? What’s one truth about social media you wish wasn’t real?
