Yeah that's fair, and I've seen that. I think the key is authenticity. As others have mentioned sometimes it's just a firehose of good things happening to other people. I've also seen a friend speak candidly about their struggle with mental health and suicide - again great to see everyone rally around them, and be aware of it. Probably a good way for them to get more support, and make other people aware that (a) current mental health resources kinda suck, (b) other people might be struggling just like you, and (c) everyone realize that their friend needs help.

But yeah - being vulnerable and open like that is hard and not for everyone. And it can also be faked for attention. Ultimately I don't know what a platform is supposed to do if everyone starts optimizing for the algorithm or is constantly consuming the very content that is bad for them but doesn't want censorship. There's no win - social media would be amazing if everyone was kind, honest and authentic. But I realize that's asking the impossible on a global scale.
