One woman hilariously demonstrated how social media is not real life. She quickly showed that what people often see on popular social media platforms is frequently faked and not exactly true to life. Watch the short but hysterical clip to see what the woman did and said, which will have you second-guessing most of what you see on social media.

Social media is a constant and pervasive presence in our daily lives. Thanks to the invention of smartphones, people are perpetually on social media. Facebook, X (formerly Twitter), Instagram and other popular social media platforms consume huge chunks of our time, with everyone on their phone checking their newsfeed continually.

However, in a clip posted on YouTube, one woman hilariously showed how likely what you’re seeing, especially from social media influencers, is more often than not fake. What’s captured on camera and then posted on social media for all to like, click and share does not tell the entire story.

She specifically mentions videos that show people quickly cleaning up their rooms. She says that despite what those videos may show, no one enjoys cleaning.

“You know what I just realized?” she says. “No one on social media actually likes cleaning. I was just about to film and the bed was a mess, so I was like, ‘Let me make it real quick.’ We just like the appearance of being clean.”

She then turns the camera around and shows viewers her less-than-tidy room, which she states is “her life, 24/7, all the time.” Seconds later, she moves a few items out of the camera’s view, giving the appearance of having a neat room.

“Social media isn’t real,” she says.

Thanks to lighting, camera angles and editing, social media is full of deceptive videos that do not tell the entire story.
