Brilliantly written. Thank you! This came in exactly right moment when I was about to engage in a long and fruitless battle of comments in Byrdie magazine´s Instagram account. A photo they posted did trigger me emotionally and very strongly. I don´t ever comment on posts, but that photo of a new born baby being "pampered" as some adult woman in a beauty chair really hit a nerve in me. I am glad I didn´t immediately write some angry comment about using babies in social media or about active promotion of consumerism as if we need fancy stuff from the moment we leave the womb. Content does push us to take sides and participate in meaningless arguments. Hopefully, it is still possible to notice when it happens and disengage.
