can also easily cause depression by constantly seeing (usually) fake people flaunting their (usually) fake life and wealth

That’s a problem with many social media platforms and the “influencer” culture they host. Instagram has been particularly criticised for this.

These heavily curated content posted on these platforms does not reflect the warts and all reality of real life. People who get too engrossed in it can quickly start to feel their lives are inadequate.

I’m not sure what the solution is for this, other than trying to better regulate the algorithms used by these platforms.
