Meet Snapchat, the charismatic and carefree human version of the social
media platform. In this episode, Snap’s charm and quick connections mask a darker side, as his
actions blur the lines between trust and exploitation. When his playful attitude leads to broken
promises and privacy violations, tensions rise, exposing the harm of treating personal
interactions as disposable moments. This episode unpacks the consequences of fleeting
validation and the abuse of digital trust on social media.
In this episode, we meet Instagram, a character who embodies the
polished world of one of the most popular social media platforms among us. Obsessed with
perfection and following the latest trends, Instagram constantly shifts personalities to match
what’s popular, struggling to balance authenticity with the desire for approval. As she navigates
a day filled with self-doubt and endless style changes, the pressure to keep up starts to reveal
cracks in her flawless facade, raising questions about self-worth and identity in the age of social
media.
