People want to believe in get-rick-quick schemes, and will go by the flimsiest evidence they can find.

I think the trick is to realize those glamorous selfies are mostly a mirage. If you were having the best day of your life on the beach, maybe, just maybe, you wouldn't be on your phone trying to get the perfect selfie.

Well said, but the optics are still there. The selfie is bound to get more hits on social media, more coverage, etc.

That's why I make a point of not following people who broadcast glamorized versions of their lives.
