I know hindsight bias is a thing, but I the response in me that bubbled up was "of course."

I think everyone under the age of 40 knows that their insta and fb involve posts that make us look cooler/more hip/sexier than we really are. Isn't that how things have always been? How many nytimes articles have been written about Irritable Bowel Syndrome, to use their example? Or how often do you talk about it with friends before the internet? Has that really changed?

It's just the medium that has changed. Some thing's are new, some are the same. People presenting the best of themselves certainly hasn't.
