The sad thing is, no one wants to see reality anymore.

I am starting with this line first because it just hits differently! Some people seem to believe living a lie is just the best as long as no one knows. They make up a well furnished facade, put it on because let's be frank.. that's what society wants, init?

This is why people go for plastic surgery when they are perfectly beautiful the way they are. They prefer making their lips bigger, having their nose done, and all because... apparently, it's better.

Speaking on buying things online, I always carefully analyse what I am buying because like you said, manipulation happens especially with the use of AI and once you've deposited the money into their account, that's the end of it all.

When will this all end? I don't know.
Would it even get better? I am not sure.

But what I do know is that a lot of people are getting lost in their online fantasy and made up realities.
