  • Its a way to manipulate how people see you through visual editing. It's not real, and it gives others false expectations of who you are..which isn't right.

• I'll check out a few posts here and there but not for too long. If they catch my eye, maybe like their photo...but thats it. I'm not looking to expand my feed with likes or followers, so why would I spend hours looking at people who can easily alter what they look like anyway? Besides...there are better things to do
