The findings reveal that landscape pictures on Instagram echo Romantic era paintings, using similar motifs and aesthetic strategies. Instagrammers, like 19th-century Romantic painters, emphasize themes of solitude, mystification, sublimity, and nostalgia, contrasting sharply with contemporary issues like ecological crises. By staging and aesthetically transforming nature, Instagrammers medially reverse the destruction of nature and create idealized landscapes that evoke a bygone, pre-industrial era and an intact human-nature relationship. Accordingly, landscape images on Instagram can be interpreted as a new idealized, romantic reality or as a postmodern reinvention of Romanticism. Instagrammers seek out photo locations based on their ability to synthesize as many physical elements as possible into an ‘instagrammable’ scenery, creating a stereotypical romantic landscape image.

Very interesting approach. It definitly fits the narrative. Sell a lucky life, a happy carrier, an open minded attitute and good relationships and so on. That's what sells. People are miserable and want to be part of something that they don't have.
The young ones, around 20, seem to be unhappier as my generation was, (I'm 42 years old). The constant feed of entertainment depresses way more than it can enlighten.
Reality is just not as easy, after all. Whoever doesn't struggle: my congratulations.
Everybody else - carry on, my friends.
