I know it's a parody, but it's not a horrible business idea, and some agencies do similar with their clients. Many models etc you may follow in Instagram really have an agency that schedules posts that aren't even from that day to keep social engagement up, they have post scheduler and mix in day to day content. The pictures of people with their feet hanging out of a helicopter or tent, etc, are largely compositions. It's a big business. CNBC, I believe, did a special on this. It was fairly mind blowing.

The counter/antidote also seems like it could be a good business idea. Seems like there'd be value in helping people navigate social media in a healthier, less depressing ways.

Exactly. Its's not that by now anyone believes any of that s#%t is real. It's more like, you have an audience and they want to be entertained. You posting things is acknowledging that and demonstrating you do the best you can to deliver top notch entertainment. Social media representing actual reality would be abysmally boring. You can get boatloads of reality just by walking out your door. But where would be the fun in that?
