#2She had to pose is what I'm getting from this. Granted, I'm not one of those people who thinks modelling is simple, but I'm not following what is severely dark about that.

#3Some people are more attractive, cooler, more interesting, than others. It's not some evil plot by the corporations to make us feel bad about ourselves. These people are really out there. The left wing narrative that all bad things that happen to us stem from some structural power imbalance in our society, is blind to this fact of nature. So they need strange stories like this to explain away the apparent differences in how popular and cool people are.

#4She's trying to create a movement out of it: http://www.letsbegamechangers.com. I'm not sure how I feel about this, if it's sincere and genuine or just a marketing ploy. Hopefully the former.

Apparently it took over her life, became an obsession. Social media made it easy to collect acclaim and popularity on a massive scale. Massive compared to what physical, real life offered.

Right, so like modelling, which is not exactly an obscure occupation. That she did it using instagram doesn't make much difference there.
I think it's important to point out that I am an old man, not a teenager, so overdramatizing things doesn't boost my engagement.

Wow. Is she advocating for complete removal of social media from the web? Good. It has done nothing good for anyone.

I guess the problem is making it pass for something it is not, i.e. real life.

Why try to paint a political narrative over this?
