The Effect of Social Media on Perfectionism

Social media is one of the first things that people might want to investigate when talking about perfectionism. The whole point of these apps and platforms is to generate a sense of discontent so that people are more likely to click on targeted ads, which provide them with a material solution to that discontent. It's very profitable for those at the top, the winners win big, anyone else doesn't really get too much attention to this. Well, this is how social media begins to generate and kind of become a self perpetuating hall of mirrors of perfection.
