People upload pictures on social media every single day — sometimes multiple photos at a time. On Facebook alone, there are more than 300 million uploads every day. On Instagram, more than 40 billion pictures have been uploaded since the platform’s creation in 2010. So naturally, we get to see many things on social media that we would never see otherwise in our day-to-day lives.
