Photos: Don't let social media especially Instagram deceive or depress you!

Byron Denton of London, England, decided to conduct an interesting experiment: he posed as a wealthy Instagram influencer, but that is not his reality at all.

The whole thing was cooked up by the 19-year-old so he could see how this strange subculture actually works. Denton used some tricky photo editing to totally fake out the masses.
Here’s a perfect example.

He didn’t leave his living room couch and POOF! he’s on a private luxury jet. This photo received 1,000 likes in only 7 SECONDS.
Below are more pics that Denton edited:

 

Denton said, “I had a lot of messages from my friends asking how I was affording all the designer stuff and a lot of comments from my followers asking if I’d won the lottery or something.”
Denton’s likes, followers, and comments skyrocketed throughout his experiment.
Denton said, “[The experiment has] made me question everyone’s moves on social media. Do a lot of the high-profile bloggers these days actually make their way to the top by being honest or do they fake some of it?”
He conducted the experiment for a week and then revealed on YouTube how the whole operation worked.

Moral: DON'T BELIEVE EVERYTHING YOU READ OR SEE ONLINE!
