00:00What is the craziest thing we've done for likes?
00:03I posted a nearly nude photo on Instagram for likes.
00:07Well, it looks perpetually like I'm at brunch.
00:10Like, I do have a full-time job.
00:12I'm definitely guilty of using Facetune to make myself look more alive.
00:17I'm editing captions from college on the slight chance that someone is going back that far.
00:22You can, like, edit your history and be not as lame as you were before.
00:26We're putting this out on the internet forever, so might as well look your best, right?
00:31If I posted it for me, it would just be, like, all memes and, like, screen caps from, like, girls
00:34and my favorite TV shows and things.
00:36Have you ever posted something you didn't eat at all?
00:39That looks like I probably ate, like, a brunch food or something?
00:42Yeah, I've done that.
00:43Gotta look.
00:44I spent probably 45 minutes making this.
00:48I didn't eat anything on this page.
00:50I threw away the M&Ms because I was touching them for an hour, and the lollipop was, like, eight
00:55years old.
00:56Oh, totally, this one I didn't eat.
00:58It's a cast iron nacho, and someone else got this.
01:01The cast iron would honestly look better in photo than my kale salad.
01:06Sometimes I will repost stuff if I think it will get more likes now than it originally did.
01:12When I posted the donut picture on the beach, I was at my desk in Manhattan.
01:16My followers would be surprised to know that I'm actually, like, a mess in real life.
01:21My room's constantly a disaster.
01:23I'm always late for anything.
01:24I'm pretty broke.
01:26You know, that kind of stuff.
01:28Which you would not assume from looking at my Instagram.
01:30Social media's hard.
01:33It sucks, but I love it.
01:35It's, like, my best friend and my worst enemy.
01:37I like to think my Instagram's a pretty true reflection of who I am, but it's, like, the best version.
01:42The most extreme version of yourself.
01:44Yeah, the highlight reel.
01:45Exactly.
