In the age of social media, authenticity is optional, and performance is the norm. This week, we examine how platforms like TikTok and Instagram have turned everyday people into curated characters, where even “real life” feels staged. Using Ashton Hall’s viral “day in the life” video as a jumping-off point, we explore the fine line between influence and illusion. Are folks living, or are they just content? Join us as we dissect the performance of online existence and the social currency of faking it.
