Most everything on the internet is a falsehood prepped up and bolstered for clout. Even much of the stuff you see here bragging about starting a SaaS or whatever, for clicks and likes. Instagram pictures are faked. The happiness, is faked. Much of the conversation on Twitter is astroturfed and botted to such an extent to farm likes and narratives. What's disturbing is all the fake is spilling right out into real life nowadays. Influencers walking around filming everywhere and fully believing they're celebrities in their own right, and with a matching entirely different off camera/off public view personality to boot.

We have William Gibson novels nearly coming to life a few decades later. Celebrity and influencer obsession and the itch and the need for that dopamine hit to go viral. It's a disease.
