      I personally love social media, and I follow quite a few celebrities (David Beckham, a few of the Liverpool FC team). I do see how if you follow some influencers on instagram, the algorithm will “learn” what you like and start showing you more of the same. I can see if you liked dangerously skinny women’s fashion accounts, once the algorithm “learnt” you liked it, you might be fooled into thinking EVERYONE is skinny, but it is actually just instagram choosing to share with you just skinny people. This has the potential to be dangerous in my opinion.
