Many people embellish their reality before posting something online. On social media, it’s not uncommon to notice filters taking care of certain “imperfections” people don’t like or find pictures that are not exactly representative of the poster’s real life.
Social media not being representative of people’s actual lives is what TikToker Kaila Uli discussed in a series of videos that went viral. The California-based entrepreneur revealed that content creators in the area can rent everything from empty bags of iconic upscale brands to mansions and private jets, which allows them to create an image of living a wealthy lifestyle, when in reality, they might not have much more than a mattress.
