This also ties back to the idea of falling down this idea of a "rabbit hole". In the same article about falling down rabbit holes, Harringer writes It has also been reported that social media use can be addictive for some adolescents (Griffiths & Kuss, 2017), and emotionally trig- gering content can be difficult to escape on social media, particularly when algorithms are specifically built to keep users engaged with the content that may end up being most damaging to them". When Alian said she "scrolls and srolls" she is not doing it mindlessly, TikTok, and other forms of social media have places this algorithm into these platforms that cause these people so scroll for hours. Thus, in return, after scrolling for hours and seeing numerous amounts of videos about the same "perfect" people, these users let this perfec timage get to their heads.

This ties back to the idea of algorithm that we learned about. When a girl likes a video that is tied to trends like "smallest waist", their feed then will start to show more and more of those videos, which feeds into unhealthy lifestyles. In the article we read in class, "The dangers of the rabbit hole:" Author Jennifer A. Harringer writes "The relationship between social media usage and body image has been well-established in the literature; however, social media companies’ use of algorithms may intensify this association, as algorithms provide viewers with personalized content that is often more extreme, less monitored, and designed to keep users engaged for longer periods of time." This idea of viewers seeing one video and suddenly their feed is full of the same style of videos is not a new concept. But in this day and age where social media is everywhere, falling into this "rabbit hole" is more and more common, especially when it comes to young women and the way they see themselves.
