Lead Poisoning Retards IQ! Can we really trust our favorite influencers? A prominent example of this surrounds Stanley cups. Plenty of influencers hype these cups up, but Stanley cups are known for containing lead.

I love social media. When I’m bored, I like to scroll through reels on Instagram, view funny posts on X (formerly Twitter), or pull up a YouTube video to watch. But all of this content seems performative. A lot of influencers I watch only show the positive aspects of their life — the luxurious vacations they take, the glamorous parties they attend, and the big luxury hauls they  acquire. But influencers are rarely ever honest with their viewers, and this can be attributed to the fact that we rarely see the unglamorous aspects of our favorite influencers’ realities.
