4. Essena O’Neill Declaring Social Media Is Not Real Life

Essena O’Neill, the 19-year-old Australian social media star, shocked everyone when she “quit” social media, stating that it is not real life. The statement was deemed inspirational by some and hypocritical by others, who were quick to point out that she had been made famous by social media, the thing that she was now speaking out against. After her declaration of war against social media, the version of one’s self revealed through social media has become a hot button topic. Since quitting social media, she has released several videos detailing the effort with which she created her photos. The irony is that these videos have gained almost one million views, making her more famous than ever.
