These kind of articles do get tiring.

There’s nothing new about Instagram or even photo retouching.

And more importantly, the idea that people want to modify their appearance to look more attractive is incredibly old. Just check out your local natural history or art museum, all the ancient art is mostly jewelry (although I’m sure that’s affected by survivorship bias).

I guess the article might be a nice explanatory thing to enlighten someone who has their head in the sand and has never seen social media.
