> Really this is all Instagram's fault. The platform, which has always prioritized aesthetics, is now more than ever prioritizing short, easily loopable clips of beauty. There are few "hooks" more engaging than those that claim to have made a great deal of money in a short period of time, which is why the Stan store screenshots work so well. A part of me is curious whether the app's latest policy update cracking down on reposts will affect the Faceless Account trend, or if perhaps the "10 Irresistible Hook Ideas To Make A Lot Of Money Really Fast" text overlaid on top will qualify the stock videos as original.

Like always, takes like this that are quick to draw a conclusion the reader likes to read are full of bs. This is not IG's fault, and it's not a problem to begin with which requires putting the blame on anybody.

It's simple: People have started to be more careful about their privacy. And given the lifestyle photos these influencers share with their followers, it only makes sense to remain anonymous unless they're ok with having to deal with stalker problems, etc.

I mean, this is just an aesthetic/vibe/curation. I guess, people don't like that some people get paid (big) bucks for it? Tastemakers have always been a thing
