Why do so many people like to post on moments?
Thanks to our moments, we are less "dispensable".
Thirty seconds ago, you just posted what you saw and heard today on your moments, waiting for likes from "friends". You already have a conservative estimate of the number of likes for today's photos. Since there are only matcha star ice music and movie ticket stubs in today's moments, the number of likes should not exceed 20.
although you know that rare photos with boyfriends can get nearly 50 likes in just one hour. But you disdain using this method of "stealing chickens". You want to rely on your efforts to guide other people's index fingers to give yourself the next sincere "like". So you try to show your best in the camera, and at the same time, you have to add a few Korean villains to your drink software to make the drink look better.
Why not? Cai Kangyong replied, "is this a society that looks at faces" in "Strange Theory":
I think this is not only a society that looks at faces but also a society that looks directly. What are you looking at, that is, you can make people look at your face at the first sight of your face? if you don't see it, you can see your money, at first sight, your car, your clothes, your talent, all of them.
that's the most convenient way to look at your face. So this is a face-watching society.
so there's nothing wrong with posting selfies, posting delicious food, posting scenic spots, and showing love in moments. I thought it was sick to like to post on moments, but a little thing that happened tonight changed my mind.
tonight, I suddenly want to turn off the function of moments for some time, because I think it has interfered with my life. It makes me unconsciously browse on moments. Although I don't like or comment, I refresh my friends every 3 minutes.
so I went to the Wechat settings page, then "Features", then to "moments", to this page, the two big red characters stood out at the bottom of the screen. Just when I made up my mind to click "disable", a phrase popped up on Wechat:
"disable this feature while emptying historical data"
. Does emptying historical data mean deleting all the moments I've sent? Can't I see who retweeted in disorder when I stop using WeChat moments? A lot of questions appeared in front of me at that moment, as if you were going to decide to express your love to a member of the opposite sex you like for a long time, a second turned into a minute or more, your heart beat faster and your cheeks flushed.
so I choose the "cancel" option the next second because I don't want to delete my moments. It may be boring text for my Wechat friends, but to me personally, it is as important as a diary. It witnessed me from a punk to a gangster, and then from a punk to a literary youth in the eyes of others. I thought the process was so interesting, and there were pictures of me and my friends.
I began to wonder if other people's selfies and group photos also have the same meaning. maybe some of them post on moments not to show off, but to record a relatively good life. And because of the emergence of social networks, it is most intuitive to reflect on whether a person is interesting or not. If other people's circle of friends is full of beauty and delicious food, then I am not a "very loser" with only my left hand and words. So I need to create an image, and the best way is to send all the beauties and delicacies I have seen to my moments, which is the most simple and effective way.
when we were young, we always thought that we were unique. Crying marshmallows would reach out to our mouths, and the corners of our mouths would rise slightly to make the old people in front of us roar with laughter. Now and then the lady in front of us could not stop crying like a "mother". We seem to be invincible, poking other people's chests with our fingers and they fall. The whole world is wrapped in a layer of pink, and in front of me is smiling face to face, only I can cry, others will not cry.
I didn't know until I grew up that everyone's childhood was the inspiration for the film Truman's World.
when we cross the barrier of 20 years old, all the lies are naturally exposed by reality. When we organized the interview at the university, we were said by others that we were incompetent and illogical. When we put on the clothes we thought were good, we were laughed at by the students who wore tide cards to attend the reunion. Low; we laughed and toasted our seniors in the big stall, but when we wanted to cry, we found that we had no friends but beer.
we know that moments are just another "Truman's world", and everyone is immersed in lies. We give likes to others, let others pretend that they are living well, others give us likes, and let us pretend that we are not living badly. In our moments, we seem to be back to when we were young. Once again, the world centers on us, and no one will ignore us.

although we know that we are still the "dispensable" group.
so in order not to appear so "dispensable", I wrote articles, sang songs, took selfies, and dried delicious food.
No wonder Dickens would say:
this is the best time, this is the worst time;
this is the age of wisdom, this is the age of stupidity;
this is the period of faith, this is the period of doubt;
this is the season of light, this is the season of darkness;
this is the spring of hope, this is the winter of disappointment;
people have everything in front of them, and they have nothing before them.
people are going straight to heaven, people are going straight to hell.
