Moderator of the Instagram vs. Reality subreddit, Cluelessnumber7, explained to one of our favorite sites, Bored Panda, that the two main negative effects of heavily photoshopping photos are:
(1) “The unrealistic expectations influencers purport to their impressionable followers. The amazingly smooth skin, suddenly common almond-shaped eyes, pouty lips, sharp jawlines, slim hourglass shapes, and so on.”
And
(2) “What’s being lost by just posting that photo for the masses is the time it took to pick the outfit, hunt down the right lighting, pick which hand to take the selfies with (yes, seriously), and that’s all before smoothing, refining, and resizing in Facetune. Without disclosing that, there is now a countless amount of people comparing themselves (and perhaps spending money to look like) a person who doesn’t exist.”
