I was making dinner and remembered something that happened in my early tumblr days. I followed this blogger who had a "pink and pale" blog, she was quite popular. However, everything on her blog was reblogs or reposts without credits. Her only original content is when she answered asks. Well one day she got an anon saying they were jealous of her life and I think they had a few interactions of asks being answered back and forth, but it basically was "I'm jealous of your life cause your blog is nice" and boy. She gave the anon such a reality check and says it concerned her they were jealous of a total stranger who just made an aesthetic blog. I feel like that applies to what you had been talking about since some people make weird assumptions about blogs.
I was more talking about how fan culture has come to a point where fans attack people for any criticisms people have for their faves and how ridiculous people can get to defend people who in reality dont even care about them. Buuuut what you're talking about is another topic I think about a lot. How social media is this place where you curate this image of a perfect life, but really, we don't actually know what goes on in people's lives cause what we show on here is cherry-picked.
