He's right, and nothing on these sites feels 'real'. Not even the people you know in real life project themselves as they are, and if they do it's only the happy side of their life that people see which is certainly not healthy to see every day for anyone's mental health or realistic perceptions and expectations of life. Anything different from that people tend to stay clear from, almost to distance their relation to a particular person. Couple that with being bombarded by obvious and not so obvious advertisements through promoted content, viral marketing campaigns, promoters and creators that act (emphasis on act) and galvanize certain lifestyles that appeals to individual wants and needs at a unrealistic level. Just like the old medium of television, everything is manufactured to look a certain way, and consciousness of looks still persists.
