It's startling to see the immense influence of social media platforms, especially Instagram, in shaping the beauty standards and propagating risky cosmetic procedures. It's essential to underscore the need for stricter regulations by these platforms and a shift in mindset among the users to value authentic representation and well-being over the illusion of perfection.
Regulations very rarely work in online spaces, people just find a way to skirt around them. Just look at how young women skirt around the downranking of fully nude pictures by including the tiniest amount of clothing possible.
I have finally deleted Instagram because my mental health deteriorated especially the dysphoria, body dysmorphia and post partum. Lately, all my old "friends" are soulless, confused, mentally ill and so desperate for attention or relevance.
I deleted instagram about 3 years ago. I cant stress this enough it was one of the best decisions I have ever made. My sister is still in highschool and luckily I have been able to keep her off the social media too.
What I find amazing is that it needs to be spelled out in a video like this. The affect of social media / insta are so blindingly obvious, yet the masses are still enthralled. So sad.
Hmm, personally I think we know, its just that nobody's bothered enough to stop it. Especially due to the fact that there's a lack of a third space for the younger generations to hang out at, many resort to scrolling on tiktok, instagram and other social communities. I don't agree with this at all, but this is a consequence of boomers insisting of creating car-dependent cities and suburbs.
Yes but you are definitely missing out on the genuine communities that tiktok have. Tiktoks algorithm works really well at giving you content that you want and are interested in. I don't think there's much to miss out on when it comes to instagram. But tiktok for sure because of the diversity of content on it. When I'm on tiktok I don't feel like I am being manipulated or anything. In fact I get a lot of content that makes me smile and laugh and have all the same feelings I've had with youtube. It's not the app it used to be and I would argue that youtube doesn't do as well with entertainment and bringing together communities. RUclips used to be good, but now it's mostly just google in video format. I don't get reccomended content on youtube that interests me like 90% of the time.
@@Z0MBiiK1TTY you do realize you control your own mind, right? Your interest in an app function is solely that it shovels lots of shortform clicky clicky to your mughole? Yikes forever.
Everywhere I go and meet people, they ask if I have Instagram and I say no, and they give me a weird look lol. I was being made to feel like a strange loser, because I never had social media, and I started to understand what FOMO was, but I still haven't given in!
@@justzcross6236 FOMO stands for "fear of missing out", a common strategy in advertising and in video games to increase sales and player retention by forcing artificial scarcity. It's basically constantly poking the customer to buy/obtain something because it will be gone/unavailable. For social media, it's similar. FOMO in this case is "fear of missing out on what your friends are doing". Like how some people instantly check their phones the moment they wake up, before even think about something else (like drinking water, eating breakfast or preparing for the day).
Another thing is when you look at comments on the internet and social media, there's so many angry, hateful comments, cancel culture, and controversy on little things. But in real life, nobody cares about any of that or acts like that. In fact, people will tell you to shut up if you do. Live life offline.
@@johnpark7972to be fair as a kid I used to shut up and listen now every 13yo thinks they know everything because they watched Andrew Tate abuse people and think it’s cool to talk about the matrix even tho they got homework due the next day
Deleting social media and shifting my mindset from consumer to producer over the last two years has profoundly transformed my perspective and experience of life. Previously, when I was deeply engaged with social media, I perceived the world in a flat, two-dimensional way, struggling to distinguish between illusion and reality. Now, having stepped away, I view life with what feels like a three-dimensional clarity, as if from a bird's eye view. Additionally, time seems to have expanded since I abandoned social media. This change has allowed me to savour each moment with greater depth and enjoyment. I do not regret it one bit.
It's so fucking sad, genuinely sad, and it's turning people into shallow, hollow shells of what a human should be. Fortunately there are still plenty of "real" people who don't care about this shit, and they are amazing to talk to.
What’s even worse about all of them getting plastic surgery is they then go on to LIE ABOUT GETTING IT. This is what worsened my BDD in the 2010s when i briefly used Instagram, but it was like my childhood experiences cranked up to 100…I thought growing up in the 2000s was hard, but I feel so terrible for young people having to go through their most formative years during these dark times. 😢
I hate that they have the audacity to call normal people lazy for not adhering to the beauty standards when they themselves get expensive surgery and get paid to go to the gym and don’t work 9 to 5s or 2 jobs like their followers probably mostly do. Or worse their followers are still children or teenagers
Barbie Botox? Man.. not even neck muscles are safe from the game of beauty standards. I’ll just stick to my natural neck length, which is just the right size for breathing.
The neck muscles it's actually proven helpful for lots of people. I have a tendency to hike up my shoulders and Botox allows me to relax those muscles and not get migraines. Soooo
@@FPSzerogaming you and this video are assuming Botox is inherently bad when it's actually great for many reasons. Also people are allowed to change their body if they want. You wouldn't complain someone goes to the gym would you? Men get Botox too and I don't see anyone bitching. Let people live it's not your life or your issue
Instagram has 10 settings for notifications and 'Quiet Mode'. I put it in 'Quiet Mode' and still got a notification telling me I have a notification but won't tell me what the notification is in regards to because it's in 'Quiet Mode'. I uninstalled the stupid app.
A buddy and I were talking in the mid-00s about social status eventually becoming the new currency on the internet. Turns out we were right, we just didn't understand all the horrendous ramifications of that change.
Damn, The last few days I’ve been thinking a lot about like “How and When did our society turn into this wildly unrealistic reality. Where 13 year old girls are looking like 25 year old women and so many people look exactly the same?” Of course I’m generally aware of “When” and “Why?” but couldn’t really pinpoint it like you have. You have also presented it incredibly eloquently. Thank you for answering my most current personal nagging question. 🤣💯💯
It’s funny, because I’ve been called mildly attractive when people see me in person they’re surprised I look like my picture. Keep pushing this content out!

I have a BIG problem with doctors who are on Instagram and tik tok who show some of them mid surgery and doing dances ect , sometimes mid surgery. It seems they themselves (dr's) have gotten blinded by social media fame. Subjecting their patients to harm.
I tried logging into my Twitter account like a week ago. Turns out it's been banned or suspended. Lmao I haven't used it in 5 years and no way of knowing why xD. Oh well, no Facebook, no snap chat, no Twitter, no Instagram, literally just enjoying my life
Instagram in my opinion is worse then TikTok with body dysmorphia positivity and more p3dos and it’s comments section is just sick, banning TikTok because of “privacy reasons” when Instagram has been like this for years.
Thing is TikTok is chinese spyware and they're in a Cold War with the US. No way they letting them steal their data, it's not about the people and their mental issues but political affairs.
Well said. Instagram could have been a nice app where people just share what they're up to, like a nice sunset picture but it has become something much darker.
I’m 23, I have been off social media when I just turned 18 and that was the most amazing thing I have ever done because all social media does is feed on your insecurities 💀

Spend more time interacting with the people around you try to possibly influence them say good things hey I like that shirt today hey you look really good. We need to stop encouraging these stupid fucking platforms from taking away what's important to us and that's our humanity

quitting insta and fb was the best decision of my life hands down. i've got my focus back, and can actually finish writing or reading a book without distraction. i have finished reading two 600+ page books in 1 month and written two books that have been paused for a year, all due to my lack of focus caused by watching short-form content.
It doesn't stop at plastic surgery. Chloe Cole was influenced to transition from female to male at the age of 13. She had her breasts removed at the age of 16, I believe, and came out of it a few years later and transitioned back to female but physically there was damage done to her that can never be corrected. Influenced by Instagram.
Damn. Poor child. I really hope some kind of law is put into place to stop allowing doctors to mutilate these kids. They don't talk about the downside of these procedures enough. So many people are mentally fkd because of this. They repress those stories.
Maybe you don’t feel it cause the triggers aren’t there… But you’re still the same angry and depressive person. Keep working on yourself, the root problem, if any, is still there
Could you explain why you feel depressed and angry about it. I never used those apps but keep hearing people say they are happier when they quit. Is it like you are comparing your own life to the fake lifes that you see online?

I don't think Instagram changed anything, it just made the exposure of the problem bigger. It's not like 20 years ago fashion magazines were all about natural and unaltered beauty...
Thats true but at the same time I think there's a huge difference between magazines and social media. Average Screen time of my generation is 6-8 hours a day and plus, social media gives the impression of being c"close" to those people you see online (parasocial relationships) so those beauty standards seem to be normal and attainable. I would guess that back then, people made a bigger difference between magazines and real life. Now, Social media and real life becomes one.
No, it really did change it because more people have access to social media than they did to magazines because the apps are free and you don't need to leave your house to go buy an app. Social media also allows every woman to compete with each other and to compare themselves to others, always trying to 1-up someone and to climb the ladder
Has anyone seen Erin Moriaty lately?? She plays Starlight on The Boys and since the last season she’s undergone some unreal plastic surgery and I seriously can’t comprehend it. She was stunningly beautiful and now she’s almost unrecognizable. She definitely now meets the Instagram beauty standards now, though 😳
I'll be honest: I don't even find these plastic surgery people attractive at all. Especially the bigger bumbs and so thin bellies. I don't find it beautiful nor sexual attractive. Conformity is such a problem and especially as young people are so busy with how other people look at them while when other people are being busy with the same thing they don't even have time to value your beauty (or lack there off) for that very reason. I'm 38 now and while growing up slowly saw through the facade and that none of this really matters. Apparently my nihilism has saved me here as I don't look for this type of validation myself. It just looks so... pointless. All of it.

@@AspienWaifu I got off about the same time. And agreed, it's very odd to look at friends and family who are obsessed with it. Their lives depend on trends and to me it seems there's nothing they themselves enjoy. They just do what other people tell them is trendy. Sad life imo. Nothing better than doing something you actually enjoy and have the ability to not care what others think.
Same. I wish RUclips would allow you to disable shorts.

It's startling to see the immense influence of social media platforms, especially Instagram, in shaping the beauty standards and propagating risky cosmetic procedures. It's essential to underscore the need for stricter regulations by these platforms and a shift in mindset among the users to value authentic representation and well-being over the illusion of perfection.
They should be outright banned. They are destroying social interaction as well
Regulations very rarely work in online spaces, people just find a way to skirt around them.
Just look at how young women skirt around the downranking of fully nude pictures by including the tiniest amount of clothing possible.
Or parents can raise their kids to be human. Stop blaming the dealer for other people's addictions.
I have finally deleted Instagram because my mental health deteriorated especially the dysphoria, body dysmorphia and post partum. Lately, all my old "friends" are soulless, confused, mentally ill and so desperate for attention or relevance.

Hmm, personally I think we know, its just that nobody's bothered enough to stop it. Especially due to the fact that there's a lack of a third space for the younger generations to hang out at, many resort to scrolling on tiktok, instagram and other social communities. I don't agree with this at all, but this is a consequence of boomers insisting of creating car-dependent cities and suburbs.
I never got the hype of instagram or TikTok. I only ever really used RUclips, and I’m I happy about that.

Yes but you are definitely missing out on the genuine communities that tiktok have. Tiktoks algorithm works really well at giving you content that you want and are interested in. I don't think there's much to miss out on when it comes to instagram. But tiktok for sure because of the diversity of content on it. When I'm on tiktok I don't feel like I am being manipulated or anything. In fact I get a lot of content that makes me smile and laugh and have all the same feelings I've had with youtube. It's not the app it used to be and I would argue that youtube doesn't do as well with entertainment and bringing together communities. RUclips used to be good, but now it's mostly just google in video format. I don't get reccomended content on youtube that interests me like 90% of the time.

Fomo? Another weird acronym?
@@justzcross6236 FOMO stands for "fear of missing out", a common strategy in advertising and in video games to increase sales and player retention by forcing artificial scarcity. It's basically constantly poking the customer to buy/obtain something because it will be gone/unavailable.
For social media, it's similar. FOMO in this case is "fear of missing out on what your friends are doing". Like how some people instantly check their phones the moment they wake up, before even think about something else (like drinking water, eating breakfast or preparing for the day).

You can't. Technology and the internet have become a daily essential in every aspect of life. Stop lying to yourself.
Deleting social media and shifting my mindset from consumer to producer over the last two years has profoundly transformed my perspective and experience of life.
Previously, when I was deeply engaged with social media, I perceived the world in a flat, two-dimensional way, struggling to distinguish between illusion and reality.
Now, having stepped away, I view life with what feels like a three-dimensional clarity, as if from a bird's eye view.
Additionally, time seems to have expanded since I abandoned social media. This change has allowed me to savour each moment with greater depth and enjoyment.
I do not regret it one bit.

What’s even worse about all of them getting plastic surgery is they then go on to LIE ABOUT GETTING IT. This is what worsened my BDD in the 2010s when i briefly used Instagram, but it was like my childhood experiences cranked up to 100…I thought growing up in the 2000s was hard, but I feel so terrible for young people having to go through their most formative years during these dark times. 😢
I have nothing against plastic surgery and I don’t judge people who get it, but I don’t like it at all when people lie about it.
I hate that they have the audacity to call normal people lazy for not adhering to the beauty standards when they themselves get expensive surgery and get paid to go to the gym and don’t work 9 to 5s or 2 jobs like their followers probably mostly do. Or worse their followers are still children or teenagers

I don't think Instagram changed anything, it just made the exposure of the problem bigger. It's not like 20 years ago fashion magazines were all about natural and unaltered beauty...
Thats true but at the same time I think there's a huge difference between magazines and social media. Average Screen time of my generation is 6-8 hours a day and plus, social media gives the impression of being c"close" to those people you see online (parasocial relationships) so those beauty standards seem to be normal and attainable. I would guess that back then, people made a bigger difference between magazines and real life. Now, Social media and real life becomes one.
No, it really did change it because more people have access to social media than they did to magazines because the apps are free and you don't need to leave your house to go buy an app. Social media also allows every woman to compete with each other and to compare themselves to others, always trying to 1-up someone and to climb the ladder
Has anyone seen Erin Moriaty lately?? She plays Starlight on The Boys and since the last season she’s undergone some unreal plastic surgery and I seriously can’t comprehend it. She was stunningly beautiful and now she’s almost unrecognizable. She definitely now meets the Instagram beauty standards now, though 😳

I'll be honest: I don't even find these plastic surgery people attractive at all. Especially the bigger bumbs and so thin bellies. I don't find it beautiful nor sexual attractive.
Conformity is such a problem and especially as young people are so busy with how other people look at them while when other people are being busy with the same thing they don't even have time to value your beauty (or lack there off) for that very reason.
I'm 38 now and while growing up slowly saw through the facade and that none of this really matters. Apparently my nihilism has saved me here as I don't look for this type of validation myself. It just looks so... pointless. All of it.

They all start looking the same it’s quite dystopian. I deleted everything except for my art instagram and my mental health looked up significantly
In a world where everything is "perfect", nothing is perfect.
So many people go in comments to either complain or just be hateful, I spend less & less time on it & haven’t been to Facebook in almost a year. It is just because it is a chore anymore & not useful.
I never had instagram. I never had a smartphone or an app. This world disgusts me.

Just say you’re broke
@@jimmyfaltu8155 no his mental health is important to him
You sound bitter angry maybe because you are a app zombie🎉
Never had a smartphone? If that's true then dayum I can barely believe it.
What made you write this with no device
I used to love instagram but I only had travel and photography stuff, but now I rarely see that
What really opened my eyes was learning a bit of photography and edditing. It's one of those things that once you start noticing how badly eddited all these photos are you can't unsee it.
I even made it a little game for myself where every time I saw a profile with those bad photoshop eddits I'd take a shot. I stopped bc after an hour I could barely stand up from my chair 💀
Thanks alot kevin and mike. You single handedly broke society
